This is my Wish for You.

Comfort on difficult days
Smiles when sadness intrudes
Rainbows to follow the clouds
Laughter to kiss your lips
Sunsets to warm your heart
Hugs when spirits sag
Beauty for your eyes to see
Friendships to brighten your being
Faith so that you can believe
Confidence when you doubt
Courage to know yourself
Patience to accept the truth
Love to complete your life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson.

[Buenchico]

"Love is . . . ", by Adrian Henri

Grow Old Along With Me.

Grow Old Along With Me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in his hand
Who saith, "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"

Robert Browning.

[Peter Pedant]

comfort on difficult days...
christ mentioning money quarrels in the first line is a bit much innit
