I am here.
I have the courage to
believe that matters.
I have the strength to
make a difference ...
to be different.
Even with an empty hand,
I have the means to give.
I am free to become ...
to fail ... to learn.
I have the advantage of hope.
I have the opportunity to love
... and to be loved.
I have the wisdom to
know it is all a gift.
When I make my decision
on how I am going to
live this day...
and it is a decision,
I joyfully, responsibly, gratefully,
face the world and say,
"I am here."
