A Prayer for a Friend

This I pray for you, my friend
that you strive to be all that you can be, yet never become a copy of another.

That you realize your own unique qualities and all that makes you special.
That you open up your eyes to the beauty in each day.

That you reach out to other less fortunate that you. That by giving you learn the joy of receiving.

That you let go of the sadness of the past, yet always remember the good moments.
That you learn to accept life as it is, even with its disappointments.

For life is meant to be enjoyed and at all times endured, but never take it for granted.
And I pray that you will be aware at all times that you are one special person, among all special persons. And do the best you can.
