A poem for anybody, but a few people in Particular

May all your lovers love you back

May you be indestructible

but not impermeable

May you change the world for the better

May you never be afraid to ask for help

or offer it

May you always have a song in your heart

and voices in your head

May you feel joy in the intangible things

as well as the material

May you never be caged by convention

or fettered by the expectations of others

May you smile truly and easily

and laugh even more so

May the cares of the world pass you by

and when they don't, may you handle it with dignity

and not let the experience leave you cold.

You have so much potential

to be anything you want

don't waste it.

You will always be loved

whether you're aware of it or not.

Be inspired

Be happy

Be good

Be realistic

Be optomistic

Be kind

Be an individual

Be free!!
