I wish you the courage to be warm,

when the world would prefer that you be cool.

I wish you success sufficient to your needs

I wish you failure to temper that success

I wish you joy in all your days.

I wish you sadness so that you may better measure joy.

I wish you gladness to overbalance grief.

I wish you a humor & a twinkle in the eye,

I wish you glory & the strengths to bear its burdens.

I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey...

I wish you peace in the world in which you live

and in the smallest corner of the heart where truth is kept.

I wish you faith to help define your living and your life.

More I cannot wish you expect perhaps love to make all the rest worthwhile.
