An Irish Blessing

An Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind always be at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your field.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palms of his hands.

May God be with you and bless you,
May you see your children's children,
May you be poor in misfortune,
rich in blessings,
May you know nothing but happiness,
From this day forward.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind always be at your back,
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home,
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on.
May blue be the skies above you.
May pure be the joys that surround you.
May true be the hearts that love you.
