    Rosemary’s Blessing

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world & in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don't think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.
