I wish you the sun,
to make your attitude bright.
I wish you the dark,
so you may appreciate light.
I wish you enough happiness,
to keep your heart living.
I wish you some pain,
so small things seem giving.
I wish you enough gain,
so you feel some success.
I wish you enough loss,
to know what you possess.
I wish you much wisdom, so you may truly see,
how the world really is, not how it should be.
Now I have one more wish,
you might see through my eyes.
I wish you the hellos,
to get you through good-bys.
