Today

Today, I acknowledge my true self,

    accepting myself just as I am now;

Today, I welcome this day with a 

    warm heart and open arms;

Today, I let the presence within me

    bless the presence within others and

    the presence within others bless me;

Today, I take time to smell the roses, look

    at the sky, and listen to the birds sing;

Today, I surrender fully to the Cosmic 

    Power that is in everything;

Today, I am a new person doing a new 

    thing, something beautiful and eternal;

Today, the only business on my agenda

     is today's business;

Today, I am free, happy, and at peace

     with God, myself, and all creation.

Victory for Obama and America: Obama is Still the One

Obama has been scandalized and

assaulted

by fiendish ideologues;

His character and

American citizenship have

been questioned.

They done tried to make him stop

fightin', stop lovin', stop leadin',

-- But we all can see, "He's still the one."

Now that he has been re-elected
to serve another
four years as the President
of the United
States he's gonna shine brighter for us
than the North Star.
They done tried to make him be
angry, be vengeful, be feeble
-- But we all can see, "He's still the one."

Obama, we trust you and believe
in justice for all
just as you do, and we pledge
anew our support
to help move America toward
justice for all.
They done tried to make him stop
fightin', stop lovin', stop leadin',
-- But we all can see, "He’s still the one."
