An Old Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.




A Wish for a Friend
Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showersâ€â€ÂÂÂÂÂ
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hoursâ€â€ÂÂÂÂÂ
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!


An Old Celtic Blessing
May the blessing of light be on youâ€â€ÂÂÂÂÂ
light without and light within.
May the blessed sunlight shine on you
and warm your hearttill it glows like a great peat fire.




An Old Irish Blessing
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!




Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cryâ€â€ÂÂÂÂÂ
I am not there... I did not die...
