Karaniya Metta Sutta

"Wishing: In gladness and in safety,
May all beings be at ease.
Whatever living beings there may be;
Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,
The seen and the unseen,
Those living near and far away,
Those born and to-be-born —
May all beings be at ease!"

"Even as a mother protects with her life
Her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish all living beings"

~ (excerpts from:) Karaniya Metta Sutta: The Buddha's Words on Loving-Kindness

May all beings be loved. May all beings be happy and well.
