So that you shall be blessed

So that you shall be blessed

I pray more than you are aware

For you because you are

A friend of many friends.

May age not break your stride.

Remember all of your days

And on your tongue have praise

For those on whom you relied.

May God look down and see

You at play like a child

And like a parent smile

When their child shrieks in glee.

I pray that the crazy ways

Of this revolving world

Neither make you deterred

Nor dim the light in your eyes.
