wish

I wish you the courage to be warm
when the world would prefer that you be cool.
I wish you success sufficient to your needs,
I wish you failure to temper that success.
I wish you joy in all your day,
I wish you sadness so that you may better measure joy.
I wish you gladness to overbalance grief.
I wish you a humor and a twinkle in the eye.
I wish you glory and the strength to bear its burdens.
I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey...
I wish you peace in the world in which you live
and in the smallest corner of the heart where truth is kept.
I wish you faith to help define your living and your life.
More I cannot wish you except perhaps love to make all the rest worthwhile.

(Mujtuba Hussain)
