Inspired by lyrics from \\u201cThe Part of Me that Is You\\u201d by Sue Riley & Richard Mekdeci:

\\u201cWhen the world tells me I\\u2019m less than whole,
I hear these words, spoken from my soul: \\u2018A Child of Mine will not inherit disease.\\u2019 I am a Child of peace.

The part of me that is You knows only health and wholeness.
The part of me that is You knows only love and joy.
The part of me that is You is divine and ageless,
like a compass pointing to a north that\\u2019s true.
Then I remember what my heart already knows.

When I feel my back\\u2019s against the wall,
I hear a voice say, \\u2018Fight!\\u2019 but I refuse the call.
As Your Child, I choose the higher road and I know
You\\u2019ll always be there if I fall.

You are the Truth of who I am. I am a Child of peace.
When my self-respect is fading fast, frozen in the present,
Haunted by the past, I look in the mirror and I see Your face and I remember what my heart already has. I bless the part of me that is You.\\u201d\\u2013the fairest of the fair.
