May my storm be your sunset,
May all you share with me be my joy
May all that I steal from you be all of your sadness
May all the waves that wash across the beaches of your mind be of happiness
May all the grains of sand that are washed away from your path be your enemies
May all the stars that shine on your new journey be beacons of hope
May I always remain a thread in the tapestry of your life
May you have enough happiness to never need this thread
