May the world bestow you clothing
when your tree is leafless, bare
May you always have a flint for light
to guide from here to there
May hunger be assuaged for you
whatever be its form
And may love and friends be always true
their comfort ever borne
May you give to others gladly
with a heart that’s open, full
May fairness, justice be your way
and mercy be the rule
May others give you gifts from life
may you do, in return
May wisdom be your seeing eye
and may we always learn
Wishes for myself I give
and share them here with you
May all I wish for me be yours
and may wishes all come true.
I sang this song at my eldest brother’s wedding many moons ago. Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last. That’s life. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep right on trying though, eh? How wishes come true.
