Inspired by “This Thing Called Life” by Faith Rivera:
“Today is the day I will change my luck. I will find three pennies and they’ll be heads up. I will walk like a queen in my tennis and jeans ‘cause I know where I come from.
From the stars and the sun, from the magical One, I am part of this thing called Life. From the known to unseen, ev’rything in between, I am part of this thing called Life. I am one with this thing called life.
Today is the day I’ll remember to see only good, only God happening through you and me. I will not forget all the treasures due me ‘cause I know where I come from.
Today is the day I’ll be more of myself. Love my skin, where I’ve been, and ev’ryone else. No more push, no more pull, simply flow as I go ‘Cause I know where I come from.”
