Blessings for someone who's ill
I don't know what disease you have
'Ask not what disease the person has
but rather what a person the disease has'
And I don't know what a person you are either
I only saw your pictures; you look gentle and kind
But I hope my wishes and blessing
will fly the ocean and reach your side
I wish you joy every day
With a smile on your face
Just like a flower blooming
your smile will set the pace
Smell its fragrance in the breeze
And you know you're all right
