A WISH FOR YOU, MY CHILD (DONNA DARGIS)

IF THERE COULD BE ONLY ONE THING
IN LIFE FOR ME TO TEACH YOU, I WOULD
TEACH YOU TO LOVE...

TO RESPECT OTHERS SO THAT YOU MAY
      FIND RESPECT IN YOURSELF
TO LEARN THE VALUE OF GIVING,
      SO THAT IF EVER THERE COMES A TIME
      IN YOUR LIFE THAT SOMEONE REALLY
      NEEDS, YOU WILL GIVE
TO ACT IN A MANNER THAT YOU WOULD
      WISH TO BE TREATED, TO BE PROUD
      OF YOURSELF.
TO LAUGH AND SMILE AS MUCH AS YOU
      CAN, IN ORDER TO HELP BRING JOY
      BACK INTO THIS WORLD.
TO HAVE FAITH IN OTHERS,
      TO BE UNDERSTANDING...
TO STAND TALL IN THIS WORLD AND
      TO LEARN TO DEPEND ON YOURSELF.
TO ONLY TAKE FROM THIS EARTH THOSE
      THINGS WHICH YOU REALLY NEED,
      SO THERE WILL BE ENOUGH FOR OTHERS.
TO NOT DEPEND ON MONEY OR MATERIAL
      THINGS FOR YOUR HAPPINESS, BUT
TO LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE
      WHO LOVE YOU, THE SIMPLE BEAUTY
      THAT GOD GAVE YOU AND TO FIND
      PEACE AND SECURITY WITHIN YOURSELF

TO YOU, MY CHILD, I HOPE I HAVE TAUGHT
      ALL OF THESE THINGS, FOR THEY ARE
      LOVE.
