Rosemary's Blessing:   

I am strong.. because
I know my weakness

I am beautiful.. because
I am aware of my flaws

I am fearless.. because
I learned to recognize illusion from real

I am wise.. because
I learn from my mistakes

I can laugh.. because
I have known sadness

I am a lover.. because
I have felt hate and
I prefer to love
