A Wish For You
May your hair, your teeth, your face-lift,
your abs and your stocks not fall;
and May your blood pressure,
your triglycerides,
your cholesterol,
your white blood count
and
mortgage interest not rise.
May you get a clean bill of health
from your dentist, your cardiologist,
your gastro-endocrinologist,
your urologist, your proctologist,
your podiatrist, your psychiatrist,
your plumber and the IRS.
May you find a way to travel
from anywhere to anywhere
in the rush hour
in less than an hour,
and when you get there
May you find a parking space.
May Friday evening, December 31,
find you seated around the dinner table,
together with your beloved family
and cherished friends,
ushering in the New Year ahead.
You will find the food better,
the environment quieter,
the cost much cheaper,
and the pleasure
much more fulfilling than
anything else you might
ordinarily do that night.
May you wake up on January 1st,
finding that the world has not come to an end,
the lights work, the water faucets flow,
and the sky has not fallen.
May you go to the bank on Monday morning,
January 3rd and find your account is in order,
your money is still there
and any mistakes
are in your favor.
May you ponder on January 4th;
How did this ultramodern civilization of
ours manage to get itself traumatized
by a possible slip of a blip on a
chip made out of sand.
May you have the strength to go through
a year of presidential campaigning,
and May some of the promises made be kept.
May you believe at least half of what
the candidates propose,
and May those elected fulfill
at least half of what they promise,
and the miracle of reducing taxes
and balancing budgets happen.
May what you see in the mirror delight you,
and what others see in you
delight them.
May the telemarketers
wait to make their sales calls
until you finish dinner,
and May your check book
and your budget balance,
and May they include
generous amounts
for charity.
May you remember to say
"I love you"
at least once a day to your spouse,
your child, your parents;
but not to
your secretary,
your nurse,
your masseuse,
your hairdresser
or your tennis instructor.
May we live as intended,
in a world at peace and the awareness
of the beauty in every sunset,
every flower's unfolding petals,
every baby's smile and every wonderful,
astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.
