I hope beautiful things come your way,
In the quiet moments and bright new days.
I hope joy finds you, when you least expect,
And love surrounds you, deep and direct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the light shines bright, and good things appear,
I hope you embrace them, without any fear.
I hope you believe, with all of your heart,
That you deserve the beauty life can impart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ve faced the storms, the struggles, the fight,
Now let the blessings come into your sight.
Don\u2019t doubt your worth, don\u2019t second guess,
You are worthy of joy, of love, of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When happiness knocks, please let it in,
For you\u2019ve earned every victory, every win.
Know that you\u2019ve grown, you\u2019ve come so far,
And you\u2019re worthy of every shining star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when life gives you reasons to smile and glow,
Believe that you\u2019re worthy, let that truth show.
You deserve the good, you deserve the light
Let yourself soar, let your spirit take flight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
