Celebration

✺

I celebrate myself
and sing myself.

—Walt Whitman

~

here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.

—Lucille Clifton

~

This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I've never lived before
Somebody shake me, 'cause I
I must be sleeping.

—Staind

~

I have to praise you like I should.

—Fatboy Slim

~

These are days
you’ll remember.
