May you find serenity & tranquillity in
a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known & the conflict you have
experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new
situation with optimism & courage.
Always know that there are those whose love & understanding
will always be there, even when you feel most alone.
May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of
peace.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, a warm smile be yours every day
of your life, & may you give these gifts as well as receive
them.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who know hate, & let that love embrace
you as you go into the world.
May the teaching of those you admire become part of you, so that you
may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched & who have
touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were
less than you would have wished.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead
place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see the beauty & love in the world
around you.
Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is
different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated
for in another.
What you feel what you lack in the present may become one of your
strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise &
possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by
yourself, & not be dependent on an other's judgments of your
accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.
