Always Loved

[Guest guest]

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 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. 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 judgements of your

accomplishments.

 

May you always feel loved.
