More Than Wishes

I wish you more sunshine than shadows,
more comfort than trouble or pain,
more grace than greed,
more gratitude than need,
more days filled with rainbows than rain.

I wish you more joy than money can buy,
more love than your heart can hold,
more laughter than tears,
more courage than fears,
more memories than silver or gold.

I wish you more birthdays than presents,
more church than a place Sunday morn,
more hellos than good-byes,
more blue than gray skies,
more reasons than whys
