A touch of trust to paint in lieu
of trials and traumas long past…
May time’s transformational strokes
touch-up with a tint that evokes
a treasure of triumphs to last
A hint of hope to make it through
hard times when hazards seem hidden…
May happiness and high spirits be
the hallmarks of life’s honesty
highlighted with hymns unbidden
A pinch of peace ‘midst morning dew
found on pillows of passion fine…
May the promises of pleasure
prove too plentiful to measure
with prosperity poured like wine
A sense of soul I pray for you,
of salvation sought without guile…
May service in silence to all
show you strength found in slight and small
and let sureness shine through your smile
A year of youth I send to you,
that is, young eyes and youthful heart.
May your thoughts on yesteryear yield
a yen with new yearnings revealed…
Yardarm raised!
Yoke in hand!
Fresh start!
