I wish you you knew just how much you mean to me
You may think you do, but you don’t
because I’m not always able to say how I feel
I wish you understood just how special you are
Not just to me, but to everyone touched by you
I wish this life had been kinder to you
But then again, if it had,
you may not have become the person I know
I wish you could see yourself
through the eyes of those who hold you most dear
You would never again be unsure or insecure
I wish you saw your value to those who love you more
and the opinions of those who don’t really know you less
I wish that you realize real beauty
has nothing to do with the size you wear
or the way you style your hair
It has everything to do with what’s inside your heart
and how you share it with others in your life
and you are truly beautiful.
I wish for you…
happiness
joy
love
peace
good health
good friends
a good life well-lived
I wish you more sunshine than rain
more laughter than tears
more happiness than sadness
more acceptance for who you really are
than acceptance for who you’re thought to be
more real friends, who are true to you
than pretenders who curse you when your back is turned
more sweet peace than turmoil and chaos
Above all of these things…
I wish you great love
Not just from those who care about you
but within yourself for others.
I wish you the Happiest Birthdays
The Merriest Christmases
and the nicest days
and if you haven’t figure it out by now…
I wish you to know I love you
I do
I love you
