YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND In a world that you may not fully understand May you find happiness, love and peace May the pains you bear, only give you strength Not causing optimism and courage to cease Always see promise and goodness in others Let a kind touch and a smile brighten your day Feel the warmth only true friendship provides While sending this gift back the other way May there be someone near who loves you Having someone special to love in return A future filled with knowledge and success Knowing there's always so much more to learn Believe in a world of tolerance and trust Hear how sweetly nature's wild bird sings May you see your future filled with promise Don't be too concerned with material things There is no tear that kindness won't dry Nor a frown that can't be turned to a smile Take time from your pursuit of all life's goals To laugh, and find happiness for a while Remember the sunshine will always return Even when the storm never seems to end For a rainbow appears only after the rain Be true to yourself and be your own best friend
