I wish you the courage to be warm,
when the world would prefer that you
be cool.
I wish you success sufficient to your
needs. I wish you failure to
temper that success.
I wish you joy in all your days. I
wish you sadness so that you
may better measure joy.
I wish you gladness to overbalance
grief.
I wish you humor and a twinkle in
the eye.
I wish you glory and the strength to
bear its burdens.
I wish you sunshine on your path
and storms to season your journey....
I wish you peace ..... in the world in
which you lie and in the
smallest corner of the heart
where truth is kept.
I wish you faith..... to help define
your living and your life.
More I cannot wish you ~ except
perhaps love ~ to make all
the rest worthwhile.
