What I Hope For You

I hope you face never loses its openness I hope your heart never leaves your sleeve I hope your eyes never lose their wonder I hope your fingers never cease to weave The strings that hold us all together The strangers, the family, the friends I hope you’ll know which bonds to cut and which to make stronger So you won’t be alone against the blows Life sends I hope you continue to greet everyone with a smile Even when all they’ll offer back is a frown And on the day you find you have risen to the top I hope you’ll be kind to the jerks that put you down I hope everything you want, you must work for And I hope you appreciate what you have, too I hope you never lose sight of what is important And always come back to the ones that love you And I hope you will walk beside Our Lord And listen to what He has to say I hope you understand He has a plan for you Lesson and mission for you, each day Most of all, I hope you realize that: You are all you need to become all you want to be And finally, as both a sister and a friend I will always be there when you need me to be
