May your wings not melt, my child

When you soar near the sun

May you do all you ever want

And never want a thing undone


Dreams are not always wise

Dreams are not always good

May your dreams be forever nice

May your dreams be understood


May you live as long as you want

And not want as long as you live

Others may be known for what they earn

May you be known for what you give


In the seas and oceans of the world

Many a pearl we can find

But you may forever be the best

Beautiful, gentle and kind


May the world value you as such

And treat you as its pearl supreme

May you make it the proudest oyster

That will ever be, has ever been


Nana Papa
