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!


A Gaelic Blessing


Lucky stars above you,
Sunshine on your way,
Many friends to love you,
Joy in work and play-
Laughter to outweigh each care,
In your heart a song-
And gladness waiting everywhere
All your whole life long.

May you be buried in a
casket made from the wood
of a 100 year old oak
That I shall plant tomorrow.
May dawn find you awake and alert,
approaching your new day with dreams,
possibilities, and promises

May the frost never afflict your spuds.
May the leaves of your cabbage always be free from worms.
May the crows never pick your haystack.
If you inherit a donkey, may she be in foal.

May your pockets be heavy
and your heart be light,

May good luck pursue you
each morning and night

May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
