May you be given the same
acceptance
you bestowed upon the loud-mouthed janitor
who made sure the restroom facilities were clean.
May you know the same
warmth
you showed to the waitress
who brought you tea.
May you receive the same
blessing
you gave the elderly
man who eased onto the highway
as he drove his wife to
the doctor
when you had places you
had to be.
May you know understanding from others
as you understand the store clerk who juggles ten duties
to earn his meager pay for the long hours at work.
May you be remembered for
your contributions the same way
you remember the migrant workers who harvested the fields
so your table could be full.
