May the laughter that we find in
our tomorrows wipe away the pain
that we found in our yesterdays,
and my wish for you is comfort on
difficult days, smiles when sadness
intrudes, and rainbows to follow
clouds, and laughter to kiss your
lips as my love completes your life.

Love comes to those who still hope,
as well as those who still believe,
and to those who still love even
though they have been hurt before,
so we have to let the love hidden
in our hearts find the love waiting
in our dreams.

There is only one happiness in life:
to love and to be loved and any
time not spent on love is wasted
so if you wished to be loved, love

One word frees us of all of the
weight and pain of life, and
that word is love, and realize that
the soul would have no rainbow,
had the eyes no tears.
