May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.

May the pain you have known,
and the conflict you have experienced,
give you 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 feel the most alone.

May you discover enough goodness in others
to believe in a world of peace.

May a kind word,
a reassuring touch,
and 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 teachings of those you admire
become part of you,
so that you may call upon them
when you have need.

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 too concerned with material matters.
Instead place immeasurable value
on the goodness in your heart.

Find time each day
to see the beauty,  and the love,
in the world around you.

Realize....
each person has unlimited 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 your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent on another's
judgments of your accomplishments.

But most importantly,
MAY YOU ALWAYS FEEL LOVED.
