from the book Healing Light
May each day of my life
be like a drop of rain
That touches the earth
with no intent to gain.
May my ideals be like roses
in a garden of light
That extend to the sun
with true valor in sight.
May my actions be as bright
as a buttercup of gold
That grows in green fields,
small yet bold.
May my heart be like the pine
in a forest of trees
That stands steady and whole
despite pain that bereaves.
May my soul be like a star
shining aloft in the sky
To radiate beauty and love
beyond the day I die.
