“May“ (1955)
______
though the following poem might not be
a May poem in the traditional sense, the
play on words made it nevertheless to
my mind irresistible
May, not in the sense of what May is,
but May in its sense of what might be
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
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 light surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
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
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
Bob Dylan
____________
may your May be either way all of
those things
