"i wish you flowers, sunshine, and smiles. i wish you children that grow to make you proud. i wish you pretty things to wear, sweet things to smell. i wish you good friends that always treat you fair. want to wish you ribbons to tie around your hair. i wish you truckloads of cheer, many happy years. want to wish you freedom to do all the things you love. want to wish you blessings and kindness from above. want to wish you sunlight through the clouds. hope you laugh out loud. i wish you well." --bill withers
