I wish that you find
the perfect fishing spot
the best game of golf
a huge kitchen
and laughter in the faces of people
you share them with.
I wish you a bed well slept in
and cold bottles of beer
playful teasing
on many, many football Sundays.
I wish you bring the same loving kindness,
a good heart in whatever
path you choose.
It is in your name, in your blood,
and in your soul.
I wish you good health
to tread your feet into new places
to revisit old ones
And light to see how old dreams have become,
light that gives birth to new ones.
When the clock finally winds down
and the sun sets into that afternoon glow,
I wish you peace in your heart of hearts.
Peace to leave memories behind,
Peace to look back.
