A Wish

(image: personal collection, Heerlen, the Netherland, 2007)

Today, I received an Irish friendship wish from a colleague across the miles:

Good luck!
May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two
May the sun always shine on your windowpane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Wishing you all the best for today, tomorrows, and always!

DREAM

To dream the impossible dream,
to fight the unbeatable foe,
to bear with unbearable sorrow,
to run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong,
to love pure and chaste from afar,
to try when your arms are too weary,
to reach the unreachable star!
