May Sunshine Kiss Your Eyes Poem by Martin Ayanbare Ayankola

May sunshine kiss your eyes
May you be a warrior for the truth
And a conqueror of vicissitudes

May you show courage in life tough battles
May you shun hate and embrace love
May the dew of happiness fall on you in the morning;
Sunshine of joy bless your head in the afternoon
And moon of nirvana encircle your heart in the night

May you carry your burden with equanimity
Fight your battle with silent strength
And rise gracefully when you fall in this tough race of life

May your coming light up our lives
May your cry elicit joy in our hearts
May you build a castle of happiness in our hearts

May you eat from the sweat of your brow
May you dance to the sweet rhythm of the truth
May you be the one to douse the fire of lies


May you be the scourge of people lighting the flames of lies
May you stand firm on the rock of truth
May you bring joy to my heart
Even when I sleep finally, eternally.
