#SIX. A POEM FOR MY CHILDREN

THE THINGS I WISH FOR YOU,

COMFORT on your most difficult days,

LIGHT when you’ve lost your way.

BEAUTY for your eyes to see,

SUNSETS to warm your heart.

HUGS when spirits start to sag,

LAUGHTER to kiss your lips.

SMILES when sorrow intrudes,

RAINBOWS to follow the storm.

FRIENDSHIPS to brighten your being,

CONFIDENCE for when you doubt.

FAITH for you to believe,

HOPE for future days.

COURAGE to know yourself,

LOVE to complete your life.
