May there always be work for your hands to do, may your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine on your windowpane, may a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you, may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you ... Its an unusual comment .. But then.. Im an unusual guy... God bless you always sweet angel.. may you have a great success here and in everything you want to do in your life
