remedies for the spirit

What a crazy roller-coaster! What a journey! What a ride!
What a blessing in this lifetime to have your friendship by my side!
Birthday wishes, valued friend, through the “downs” and through the “ups”
Through the times of emptiness and the overflowing cups.
Happy Birthday, cherished friend, through the excitement and the cheer!
Through the challenges we face, the confusion, and the fear.
What a crazy roller-coaster! What a journey! What a ride!
What a blessing in this lifetime to have your friendship by my side!
Birthday wishes, valued friend, through the mild and extremes
Through the contentment in the moments, the quiet, and the screams.
Happy Birthday, cherished friend, on the ground or in the sky
I am blessed to be here with you holding on or hands held high!

Then there are the givers. They are truly a special breed.
They give and give and give. It is their passion. It is their need.
They give because it feels good when their love comes streaming through.
What a blessing for the giver, the receiver, and love too.
The giver supports and comforts, regardless of gratitude.
The giver knows that giving is how happiness is accrued.
