A Mother's Wish

May your childhood be long and glorious

May all your adventures be great

May you do everything your heart desires

Before it gets too late


May you know your true belonging

And never feel alone

May you always love the colour green

May it make you think of home


May you jump in rivers, lakes and seas

And let the sunshine dry your skin

May you know when things don’t work out right,

You can always try again


May your feet be firmly planted

To the earth below

May you live a life of wonder

May you always learn and grow


May you truly be connected

To the stars above

May your heart be brave and unguarded

And open to all kinds of love


May you see the true potential

In every little seed

May you always find abundance

But take only what you need


May you look upon the forest

As if it were your home

And may you feel a deep reverence

For the wild unknown


May you tend a happy garden

And be sure to get a dog

May you know that kind of kinship

May you have that kind of bond


May you see the intrinsic beauty

In the tiniest of things

May you find genuine acceptance

For whatever life may bring


May you look into an animals eyes

And see it’s precious soul

And may you love it’s life so much,

You’ll bravely let it go


May you live a life of passion

Never waste a day

May you work hard at jobs that matter

But make lots of time to play


May you learn the language of birds

And hear the voice of trees

May you know the natural medicine

In all the common weeds


May you trust you’ve got the answers

Deep inside of you

If you listen closely,

You’ll know what to do


May you never live a day

Without knowing how important you are

How much your family loves you

Like the sun and moon and stars


But if there’s only one wish I'd have for you

I'd wait for the brightest star to fall,

I'd wish that you may love your life,

May you love your life, if that’s all
