<span style=margin-left: 10px/><br/><br/>May you find serenity and tranquility <br/>in a world you may not always understand. <br/><br/>May the pain you have known <br/>and the conflict you have experienced <br/>give you the strength to walk through life <br/>facing each new situation with courage and optimism. <br/><br/>Always know that there are those <br/>whose love and understanding will always be there, <br/>even when you feel most alone. <br/><br/>May a kind word, <br/>a reassuring touch, <br/>and a warm smile <br/>be yours every day of your life, <br/>and may you give these gifts <br/>as well as receive them. <br/><br/>May the teachings of those you admire <br/>become part of you, <br/>so that you may call upon them. <br/><br/>Remember, those whose lives you have touched <br/>and who have touched yours <br/>are always a part of you, <br/>even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. <br/>It is the content of the encounter <br/>that is more important than its form. <br/><br/>May you not become too concerned with material matters, <br/>but instead place immeasurable value <br/>on the goodness in your heart. <br/>Find time in each day to see beauty and love <br/>in the world around you. <br/><br/>Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard <br/>you may be more than compensated for in another. <br/>What you feel you lack in the present <br/>may become one of your strengths in the future. <br/>May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. <br/>Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. <br/><br/>May you find enough inner strength <br/>to determine your own worth by yourself, <br/>and not be dependent <br/>on another's judgment of your accomplishments. <br/><br/>May you always feel loved.
