A Birthday Wish
I do not wish you joy without a sorrow,
— Nor endless day without the healing dark,
Nor brilliant sun without the restful shadow,
— Nor tides that never turn against your bark.
I wish you love, and strength, and faith, and wisdom,
— Goods, gold enough to help some needy one.
I wish you songs, but also blessed silence,
— And God's sweet peace when every day is done.
