Creative Arts Corner:
She Knew She Had Something by Robin Y.
She knew she had something because every time she walked into a room, all eyes were on her.
She knew she had something because every time she smiled, she would light up the room.
She knew she had something because people cared about her.
She knew she had something because she cared about those same people.
She knew she had something when she walked among the streets to feed the homeless and was protected.
She knew she had something when she gave her last and was continually blessed with more.
She knew she had something when she gave until she felt there was no more to give and God gave her the strength to continue.
She knew she had something when she felt she was no longer worthy but found out how much she was honored and loved.
She knew she had something because God chose her to do his work here on Earth.
She knew she had something the moment she realized she was Mother Earth.
