May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.

I dare not ask a kiss;
I dare not beg a smile;
Lest having that or this,
I might grow proud the while.
No, no, the utmost share
Of my desire shall be
Only to kiss that air,
That lately kissed thee.
-Robert Herrick

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

There are good ships,
and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are friendships,
And may they always be...

Sneer as you may, ye unideal lovers of facts and cents, I wouldn't give up the power and the pleasure of building Castles in the Air β€” I would not sell you the delight of hope, the enjoyment of anticipation, or the luxury of day-dreaming for the price of a kingdom. ~Thomas Clark Henley

mends the wounded heart

O welcome the stranger from Erin’s green sod;
I sprang where the bones of thy fathers repose,
I grew where thy free step in infancy trod,
Ere the world threw around thee its wiles and its woes.

Although Donald's birthday is said to be on March 13 in the 1949 short film "Donald's Happy Birthday," Disney later decided that Donald's official birthday is June 9, the day he first appeared in film.
But I see no reason not to celebrate twice πŸ™‚.

O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd.
She was a vixen when she went to school,
And though she be but little, she is fierce.
