      My Wishes For You I look to the new year and my wish for you; Peace within your heart Love from family and friends Faith to guide your way Hope to to make it through each day Sunshine to light the day Heavenly Stars to wish upon Rainbows to to let you know there is a tomorrow A tear to show compassion A heart to hold the love But most of all I wish for you to feel my hand in yours, To know I am here if you stumble or fall. To bring you cheer, to bring you love, to return the love you always share with me. Teresa

      I Wish You... When you are lonely I wish you love. When you are down I wish you joy. When you are troubled I wish you peace. When things are complicated I wish you simple beauty. When things are chaotic I wish you inner peace. When things look empty I wish you hope... Teresa
