Lift that chin, Rosa.
Lift those eyes up high.
Say to the sun, you're welcome.
Lift your face to the sky.

Lift that chin, Rosa.
Spread your arms out wide.
Tell the wind that you're ready.
And just see if you don't fly!
I have a granddaughter, Rosa.  I have a photo of her lifting her chin, with a beautiful smile.  She's a smart cookie.  She'll go far.
