Forever Blowing in the Wind

I promise to never cry as long as I live,

not to harden my heart but to open it, 

to never be saddened but what cannot 

be but to rejoice in the opportunity 

each sunlit morning provides us with. 

I promise to meet my challenges 

head on and overcome all obstacles,

to separate myself from the negative 

and forge ahead in a positive fashion. 

I promise to stand tall in the face of 

diversity and accept my differences.

I'll not look at what I cannot do 

but embrace all that I can and will. 

I shall love life whether I like all that

is happening or not. I will make a 

difference not in those around me 

but in myself to care for, smile 

and put myself in the hands of God. 

I will help all that are within my reach

and in doing so help myself to 

understand, accept and journey in 

a way that allows me to be complete.

I shall laugh as if tomorrow was over 

and live opening the gateway to love. 

I shall celebrate all that I am and 

all that I will and can be. 

I will dream the dreams of lovers, 

breathing new life into each new day.

Dance forever upon the clouds and

reward myself for my accomplishments.

I shall take in a deep breath and gather

the strength need to forge ahead. 

I will succeed not in proving my worth

but revealing to all my worth. 

When all is said and done and life on 

earth is complete I will leave 

behind a legacy of a women, 

her love and dreams forever

blowing in the wind.
