So That You Will Be Blessed

So that you will be blessed
I pray more than you are aware
For you because you are
A friend of many friends.

May age not break your stride.
Remember all of your days
And on your tongue have praise
For those on whom you relied.

May God look down and see
You at play like a child
And like a parent smile
When their child shrieks in glee.

I pray that the crazy ways
Of this revolving world
Neither make you deterred
Nor dim the light in your eyes.
