Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,

Hugs when spirits sag,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
