Analysis of Wishes For You



I wish you peace of mind
where conflicts all erase.
I hope that you may find soft smile lines on your face.
I wish you best of health
with vigor for your day.
I hope that inner self will keep disease away.
I wish you love of heart
where commitments are true.
I hope that mates impart a comfort level too.
I wish you times of joy
with spirits soaring clear.
I hope that every ploy will keep contentment near.
I wish you lots of wealth
where there's always enough.
I hope that prudent stealth will remain strong and tough.
I wish you fields of dreams
with life fulfilling crops.
I hope that worthy schemes exceed the mountain tops.
