  I wish you more ups than downs.

  I wish you more give than take.

  I wish you more tippy-toes than deep.

  I wish you more we than me.

  I wish you more hugs than ughs.

  I wish you more WOO-HOO! than WHOA!

  I wish you more will than hill.

  I wish you more can than knot.

  I wish you more snowflakes than tongue.

  I wish you more pause than fast-forward.

  I wish you more umbrella than rain.

  I wish you more bubbles than bath.

  I wish you more treasures than pockets.

  I wish you more stories than stars.

  I wish all of this for you,

  because you are everything I could wish for . . .

  and more.
