An Irish Blessing

Post by capt_buzzard »

By special request by some members..



AN IRISH BLESSING...



May

The road rise with you

And the wind be always at your back



May

The sun shine warm upon your face

The rain fall soft upon your fields



And till we meet again



May

God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Thank you soooo much. I saw it once on a hand done plaque and could only remember the first 2 lines.

A woman stopped me when my father died and said this to me. I didn’t realize what it was. She was definitely Irish and normally very quiet and reclusive. I was surprised and touched by it.
