within me dwells my essence, my soul, my breath it is my inner self untainted and uncorrupt, my identify breathed into me at birth and I am responsible for its safe journey in this life so I will learn fearlessness, steadfastness, truthfulness, unselfishness, gentleness, and cleanliness of body and mind this is my oath and promise to the Lord above and I will carry purity in my heart, only tranquility will be spoken from my lips and only serenity will dwell within me always, and I will have no wrath, or find fault in others . . . I will possess no greed, no hate, no conceit but be humble and silent people will say I am calm, forgiving, modest, and show great restraint, I will find the beauty in everything ... I will study the scriptures of my religion and follow their knowledge and I will have compassion of all of the Lord's creatures, humans, animals, birds, fish, waters, plants, forests and will protect them from destruction with every fiber of my being, I will be kind and giving, generous, and helpful, I will live in harmony . . . But, most important to me, is that at the end of this journey, it will be said, this person possessed radiance in character . . .

So wonderful, Constance, to be able to feel all those things about oneself. I struggle with a few things, but God is indeed watching over you and blessing you because you have overcome so many trials. You are a forever poet.

This is a beautiful inspiring poem of faith, I see the Lord working within you : ). May God fill you with His peace, love , spirit, joy , comfort, while unveiling new understanding, wisdom and knowledge of what He has prepared unto you , a love for all , for myself know it was God's grace that snatched me from death not of my own works, that I shall not boast or judge any , I pray you see the beauty in all creation: )
