                           You are, and have always been, a benevolent soul.
                                                           Witty

                                  You are profound beyond your years.

         Lucky are those who will find themselves in your circle of friendship and care.

                           And, although you are just a slip of a boy, my son,
                                                You are a man.

                                      My son, how beautiful you are.
                                                   I love you,
                                                      Mom

                                                Walk on a rainbow trail;
                                                 Walk on a trail of song,
                                          And all about you will be beauty.

                                There is a way out of every dark mist,

                                                  Over a rainbow trail.

                                                     -Navajo Song -
