A Prayer for All Religions - Visitor's Poem

by Richard John Scarr
(Brighton. East Sussex. England )

My friends may peace be with you.
Every colour, culture, creed.
May your god both; bless and guide you,
And satisfy your needs.

May your dreams come to fruition,
And all ambitions be realised.
May you never know frustration,
And hopes take shape before your eyes.

May laughter never leave you,
May any tears you shed be few.
May good nature be a virtue,
And your friends be firm and true.

May your worries always leave you,
Before the coming of the day.
May you never know a sleepless night,
Or be lost for things to say.

May good health be your companion,
And old age slow to hinder you.
May you never know a day of want,
Or need your whole life through.

May your life be long and happy,
And every moment be well spent.
May every path you follow,
Be a pathway to content.

And may every road you travel,
Be straight and have no bend.
May you never have to walk alone,
And good fortune be your friend.

And when it is time for you to make
Your transition up above.
May it be serene and peaceful,
In the arms of one you love.
