Carry with You These Gifts of the Heart...

TRUST... that whatever happens,

  there is someone who will

      understand.

HONESTY... the feeling that you

  never need to hold back.

PEACE... in being accepted for

  who you really are.

BEAUTY... in outlook

  more than appearance.

FREEDOM... to be yourself,

  to change, and to grow.

JOY... in every day, in every memory,

  and in your hopes for

      the futere.

LOVE... to last a lifetime,

  and perhaps beyond.

       - D. L. Riepl
