May the world be calm before me May my parents be kind and strong May my body be strong May my mind quickly develop And may it develop with strength May I be able to fight (Fight well and fair.) May my dreams guide my footsteps May all sudden shocks Falls Realizations Be integrated Without Lingering repression And may I meet souls Along the way Which will lighten The way For the way Back to you.
Irwin R. Shaw - December 15th 1981
May the world be calm before me
May my parents be kind and strong
May my body be strong
May my mind quickly develop
And may it develop with strength
May I be able to fight
(Fight well and fair.)
May my dreams guide my footsteps
May all sudden shocks
Falls
Realizations
Be integrated
Without
Lingering repression
And may I meet souls
Along the way
Which will lighten
The way
For the way
Back to you.
