May you learn to love completely

May you learn to love completely
With no sign or trace of fear
May you learn to hold your honour
And integrity so dear

May you face the world with courage
Standing firmly on your own
May you face the things that scare you
And embrace the new unknown

May your dignity grow solid
And your pride be that of good
May you never more go crumbling
Where you bravely should have stood

May you learn to tell the truth
And to trust that truth is best
May you earn the trust of others
Who believe you wise and blessed

Then you will be an example
For the ones who look to you
Heaven knows how much it matters
That you be straight and true

May the Gods uphold you
And the angels give you hope
May you bravely stand up taller
And ensure you learn to cope

May your self-worth grow much stronger
May your self-esteem increase
May your confidence expand until
You find your inner peace

May you learn to love completely
With no trace or sign of fear
May you tenderly repair all those
You hold so near and dear
