May You

May you find serenity and tranquility

In a world you may not always understand.

May a kind word and a reassuring touch be yours,

May you give these gifts, as well as receive them.

May the pain you have known

And the conflict you experienced

Give you the strength to face each situation.

May the teaching of those you admire

Become a part of you, so that you may call on them.

May you place value on the goodness in your heart?

Find the time each day to see the beauty

And realize that each person has abilities,

Each of us is different in our own way.

May you find enough inner strength

To see your own worth,

And not depend on another’s judgment.

May you know that there are those

Whose love and understanding will always be there,

When you feel alone.

Remember the sunshine,

When the storm seems unending.

Remember, those whose lives you have touched.

And who touched yours are always a part of you,

And most of all may you always feel loved!!
