Five and Twenty

I am the man who stands there,
At times alone, but never without a cause
Life’s challenges:
Little blessings
I am the man who breathes here
I do so as anyone else does,
only I like to take my time,
holding each breath to the fullest

I am the man who dies and who is born
I am him every day
I play both parts,
making sure to play them right

I am that man,
the one who stands there,
the one who breathes here,
the one who dies and is born
I am this man,
that is what’s most important
While I see myself in everyone,
I cherish the difference
