May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you many not always understand.
May the pain you have known, and the
conflict you have experienced give you
the strength to walk through life facing each
new situation with optimism and courage.
Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding
will always be there ...
even when you fell 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, and may you give these
gifts as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the
storms seem unending. Teach love to
those who know hate, and 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 and 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 to concerned with
material matters, but instead, place
immeasurable value on the goodness in
your heart. Find time in each day to see
the beauty and love in the world around you.
Realize that each person has limit less 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 you lack in the present may
become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with
promise and possibility. Learn to view
everything as a worthwhile experience
May you find enough inner strength to
determine you own worth by yourself
and not be dependent on another's
judgments of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved!
