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 the strength to walk through life facing
each new situation with courage and optimism.
Always know that there are those whose love and 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, and may you give these gifts
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems 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.
It is the content of the encounter that is more important than its' form.
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 and 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 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.
May you always feel loved!
