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.
