I will not weep,
for the things I do not control,
I will not spend days in sorrow,
or allow pain to define my walk

I will stand with God,
and not worry about man,
and I will not allow others to steal my joy,

Today I will choose to be happy,
no matter what state I find myself,
I am blessed by the Most High,
today I have life,
today I have a breath,
today I can eat,
today I can smile,
today I have a chance to tell someone I love them..
