 ****************************
As you slide down the banister of life,

May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!

*****************************

Dance as if no one were watching,

Sing as if no one were listening,

And live every day as if it were your last.

*****************************

May your neighbors respect you,

Troubles neglect you,

The angels protect you,

And Heaven accept you.

*****************************

These things I warmly wish to you-

Someone to love

Some work to do

A bit o' sun

A bit o' cheer

And a guardian angel always near.

*****************************

May those who love us, love us

And those who don't love us,

May God turn their hearts

And if he can't turn their hearts,

May he turn their ankles

So we will know them by their limping!

*****************************

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,

May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

*****************************

May you live as long as you want,

And never want as long as you live.

*****************************

May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.

Remember to "spring" your clocks forward one hour, for Daylight Savings .


If I could catch a rainbow

I would do it Just for you,

And share with you Its beauty

On the days You're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain

You could call Your very own,

A place to find serenity,

A place to be alone.

If I could Take your troubles,

I would toss them In the sea.

But all these things I'm finding

Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain

Or catch a rainbow fair.

But let me be What I know best,

A friend That's always there.
