"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 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 storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose 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 the form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart.
Find time each day to see 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 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 judgement of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved."

This is beautiful, Denise. Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend 🧡
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed worth reposting! Especially for those of us with memories that are not as good as they used to be.
ReplyDeleteWonderful words
ReplyDeleteThank you for these beautiful words! They're like a balm to the soul.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing; everyone could use being reminded of this more often.
ReplyDeleteIt really touched me!
Have a good day, hugs, Elke
A beautiful wish. Very uplifting and encouraging. Thanks for reposting this
ReplyDeleteHello Denise
ReplyDeleteI love this poem, I am glad you reposted it. Take care, happy Friday! Have a great weekend.
“Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.” Hah! Perhaps we should ask the people of a Gaza how they feel about that, or the Jews as they marched to the gas chambers. I knew a person several years ago who was blinded by diabetic retinopathy before she was six years old, was debilitated in one way or another virtually all her life, had to have one leg amputated and died less than a year later. I doubt that she viewed everything as a worthwhile experience.
ReplyDeleteWe seem to think alike, David.
DeleteVery well worth repeating, Denise, Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis post came at the right time for me, as I have been experiencing some depressing issues. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLive in peace. Wise words.
ReplyDeleteIt's sometime difficult to find good when the bad is so pervasive. All we can do is try.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had found this while I was teaching. Many kids listened to quotes like these.
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful and true and also fits my life right now perfectly! thanks, I needed this...
ReplyDeleteDenise I loved each verse...but the winner was 'may you always feel loved'.
