Inspired, in part, by a Gaelic blessing plaque I saw in a truck stop's gift shop.
Oh, and yes, I was really into Bon Jovi.

A Wish

by Raine Wynd

wherever the road of life leads you
be it down the path of beauty and fortune,
or the twisted journey of pain and poverty,
remember that i love you for who you are inside:
a man with courage, determination, and passion for life
whose ability to laugh and make others laugh is perhaps his greatest asset

never forget, my love, that i once held you near
when heartbreak shattered a beloved dream
and regardless of what happens in this crazy world,
all you need is to call and i'll be there for you
i'll be all the medicine you'll ever need
just like in a cliquéd love-song

however you travel down the road,
may your faith in yourself be strong
and may all those who listen
and have the power for miracles help you as well:
for i believe in you and in your dreams:
and when love will guarantee success, i will be rich with you.
