 “Do not go gentle in that good night,”
was written for his dying father.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

May God bless and keep you
always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the
stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be
righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the
truth
And see the lights surrounding
you
May you always be
courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be
busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong
foundation
When the winds of changes
shift
May your heart always be
joyful
And may your song always be
sung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.
