I wish you enough sun,
to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain,
to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness,
to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain,
so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain,
to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss,
to appreciate all that you posess.

I wish you enough “hello”-s
to get through the last goodbye.


(Shantideva)
