Dorothy Gilman (The Bells of Freedom 1963)

If something

anticipated arrives

too late

it finds us numb,

wrung out from waiting,

and we feel – nothing at all.

The best things arrive on time.”

Dorothy Gilman (The Bells of Freedom 1963)

May God bless and keep you always

May your wishes all come true

May you always do for others

And let others do for you

May you build a ladder to the stars

And climb on every rung

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth

And see the lights surrounding you

May you always be courageous

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

Forever young, forever young

May you stay forever young.
