A Commencement Present
May you breathe
and smell the fragrance of each new day;
May you walk
and stride in joy every step of the way.
May you listen
and hear the music Nature plays for you;
May you learn
and teach great wisdom and your truth.
May you talk
and speak only from your heart;
May you be silent
and reject flatteries that all sound so smart,
but accept insults that hold some truth in part.
May you sleep
and dream up what reality has not yet congealed;
May you awaken
and discern the paths faintly revealed,
along with the dangers dimly concealed.
May you drink
and swallow the bitterness life's lessons
at times entail;
May you eat
and devour the wonders life's mysteries
in time unveil.
May you hate
and end all wars that pain us
so grievously and senselessly;
May you love and be loved,
as one and with all,
ever so entirely and endlessly.
