A Wish

I wish upon you the gift of travel.

May your feet tread many paths
Your head soar atop high peaks
Your eyes gaze at numerous wonders
And your ears be witness to our diversity

May you be greeted everywhere
With curiosity and interest
I hope you sit at many tables
And share countless stories

I wish you open your arms and your heart
To the world around and its inhabitants
May you experience true commerce
And leave new acquaintances with smiles and handshakes

Everywhere your whims take you
Spread peace and understanding
Have the courage to smile first
Show patience and humility

May each of your returns
Be the starting point of a new destination
And every memory you acquire
A true treasure in your heart.
