"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all you possess. I wish enough "Hellos" to get you through the final "Goodbye." The above poem is tied to a "forward". I don't do many "forwards" but wanted to share the poem. Basically, a man saying a final goodbye to his daughter at an airport. As she departed to her plane, he said to her, "I love you; I wish you enough." A lady sitting near by began a conversation with him. They talked about "final goodbyes". She asked the man about the meaning of the expression "I wish you enough," the man responded, "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." He continued, reciting the poem, as if by rote memory. http://www.bobperks.com/wish.htm | We never know what life may deal us, so ... To my friends and my family: "I wish you enough." (even the ones who don't acknowledge me anymore) |
