Inspired by lyrics from “The Part of Me that Is You” by Sue Riley & Richard Mekdeci:
“When the world tells me I’m less than whole,
I hear these words, spoken from my soul: ‘A Child of Mine will not inherit disease.’ I am a Child of peace.
The part of me that is You knows only health and wholeness.
The part of me that is You knows only love and joy.
The part of me that is You is divine and ageless,
like a compass pointing to a north that’s true.
Then I remember what my heart already knows.
When I feel my back’s against the wall,
I hear a voice say, ‘Fight!’ but I refuse the call.
As Your Child, I choose the higher road and I know
You’ll always be there if I fall.
You are the Truth of who I am. I am a Child of peace.
When my self-respect is fading fast, frozen in the present,
Haunted by the past, I look in the mirror and I see Your face and I remember what my heart already has. I bless the part of me that is You.”–the fairest of the fair.
