May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you

And climb on every rung
And 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
And may you stay forever young
And 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
May your song always be sung
And may you stay forever young
May you stay forever young

Finally!!!!! I found it!!!! This song was used on my daughters video for her furneral. She died at age thirty eight, breast cancer. She left two little boys, ages three and eight. Her name is Pamela and she loved her kids soooooo much and cried when she found out she wasn't going to live to raise them. She didn't want to leave them behind. But God chose to take her anyway, I guess He has better plans for her. She was so gorgeous, blonde and sweet. Everyone loved her. Geri, from Florida
