Happiness for Always

 

 

I wish you happiness for always.

May you turn away from everything that is sad

and let you noble spirit sour,

in the bold presence of good and bad.

 

May you be the brush / that paints the colours.

Be the hand that feeds the poor.

May your love flow like waves

endlessly crashing upon the shore.

 

May you be the light that shines the way.

Be like a child in blissful play.

 

May you be yourself and know only what is fair.

May you care for nothing, yet have everything to share.

 

May you know that you are, through the wisdom of love,

and be at peace in flight, on the wings of a dove.

 

May you know that you are honoured to be free,

and rest in the knowledge ‘that you may be.’

 

May you serve and praise god, as a branch serves a tree.

May you bear its fruits, and be part of its seed.

 

May you seek nothing and realise that all,

is at your command, at your beckoning call.

 

May you be ‘as one,’ in love with yourself.

And be in love with your neighbour, in realisation of self.

 

God bless, be happy, have faith.

Be the potion of life / the essence of fun.

May you be like a flower blooming, as it is greeting the sun.
