A MORNING WISH :))

   The sun is just rising in the morning of another day. What can I wish that this day may bring me? Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer, nothing at the expense of other men; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather, as they pass and gather strength.

   I wish that this day could bring me a few friends, who understand me and yet remain my friends; I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.

   I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed, and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.

   I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills,and the blue sea stretching to the horizon, and of something beautiful which the hands of me have made.

   I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor, and the power to laugh, a little leisure with nothing to do.

   I crave for a few moments of quiet, silent meditation in the morning of this day. And most especially, I wish that this day would help me seek more happiness and add more meaning to my life!
