I'm not sure of its source but it could be titled a Pilgrim's Prayer. I'll carry this with me on our journey along the camino in October 2002.<BR>

I wish for you . . . .<BR>
Comfort on difficult days,<BR>
Rainbows to follow the clouds,<BR>
Laughter to kiss your lips,<BR>
Sunsets to warm your heart.<BR>
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,<BR>
Friendships to brighten your being,<BR>
Beauty for your eyes to see,<BR>
Confidence for when you doubt.<BR>
Faith so that you can believe, <BR>
Courage to know yourself. <BR>
Patience to accept the truth,<BR>
And love to complete your life.<BR>
God Bless You!<BR>

I asked the Lord to bless you<BR>
To guide you and protect you<BR>
As you go along your way . . .<BR>
His love is always with you<BR>
His promises are true<BR>
No matter what the tribulation<BR>
You know He will see us through.<BR>
So when the road you're traveling on<BR>
Seems difficult at best<BR>
Give your problems to the Lord<BR>
And God will do the rest.<BR>
