This Is My Wish for You 💙

Comfort on difficult days,
smiles when sadness intrudes,
rainbows to follow the clouds,
(cont'd in alt text)

Macro of a dandelion This Is My Wish for You Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life. By Ralph Waldo Emerson

pic mostly shows the reflections of people on Bow Bridge and trees on the water in Central Park, NYC. Because of its low-lying and graceful curve that resembles the bow of an archer or violinist, it’s widely considered a masterpiece of Victorian-era design.
