by Maya Angelou:
Yet it is only love which sets us free.
We may encounter many defeats but
Let others have the privacy of touching words
I can be changed by what happens to me,
They dull my eyes, yet I keep on dying,
Love life, engage in it, give it all you've got.
My life ain't heaven but it sure ain't hell.
This is my life. It is my one time to be me.
