Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.

or complicate what is simple.

Above all, to watch. To try to understand.
To never look away. And never, never, to forget.
