A Birthday Blessing (for Beverly)

Dining Room Still Life, December 29, 2021


    May this year bring new experiences of joy.

    May you savor the companionship of true friends.

    May you delight in the plants and flowers that flourish in your care.

    May you feel strong in body, heart, mind & soul.

    May the love you give be returned to you in ways you could not see coming.

    May your faith continue to reveal more and more of your heart's true path.

    May you pass hours in turning the pages of splendid reads.

    May you befriend birds and butterflies who find their way to your garden.

    May you close your eyes and listen deeply to music you love.

    May you find yourself counting the blessings of every day.
