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 everyday 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 it's form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness of 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.
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 judgments of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.

purity wins.
you have captured my soul and heart and feelings, and you, knowing me a bit, know that this is a true assessment. Lift your words and convey them outwardly to all those before you. you, my friend, have a heart of "purity." i am impressed with the "positive" content in this poem! give us more as you look carefully and closely at all that surrounds you, listening, watching, absorbing each bleb and repeating them back to us......your gift.......is blessed.
thank you.

Hon, the moving background makes the poem slightly difficult to read or else my eyes are really tired. Great write tho. You have some major talent in this field and I would love to one day see your work in printed book form. Hugs
