IRISH BLESSINGS

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been
the foresight to know where you're going
and the insight to know when you're going too far.

May you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.

May the sun shine, all day long,
everything go right, and nothing wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you,
and may all the wishes you wish come true!

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always 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 hollow of His hand.
~ Irish blessing

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
~ Irish blessing

May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent!
~ Irish blessing
