| 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 optimism and courage. |
| 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 as well as receive them. |
| 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. |
| 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 judgements |
| of your accomplishments. |
| May you always feel loved. |
