A simple sticker poem blessing.  A sweet gift from an American poet of a very long time ago.  Still delighting hearts today.  

“I do not wish you joy without a sorrow,

Nor endless day without the healing dark,

Nor brilliant sun without the restful shadow,

Nor tides that turn against your bark.

I wish you love,

and strength,

and faith,

and wisdom,

goods, gold enough to help some needy one.

I wish you songs, but also blessed silence

And God’s sweet peace when every day is done.
