My Wish for the Graduate God has given me a long life And filled it full of cheer; Not least of which is a grandson Whom I hold wholly dear. He now has passed a big milestone In a life just getting started. I wish for him countless good gifts; The first that he be great-hearted. A great-hearted man will persevere With calm determination. With clear resolve he'll find his way Through the toughest situation. The next gift that I wish for him, A sympathetic spirit; Wisdom for him to find the good In those of lesser merit. May his great heart be filled with love For creatures great and small, For his parents and his siblings And his God the most of all. Though at times the day may darken And it's hard to see the way, His sympathetic, loving heart Will lead to a brighter day. Joyce 04/19/20 |

Reminds me of the Reba song! So beautiful and inspiring. I hope he gets everything in life that he desires. |

you have a big heart yourself Joyce dear. I'm sure some of it rubbed off on him.. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
