If you need something encouraging, beautiful, spiritual to say or write to a friend,
why not try some of these Irish blessings?
-
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.
-
As the green hills of home are drenched with raindrops
Like a mother's tears of joy when her child comes home from the sea,
So does my heart weep when we are sometimes parted, you from me.
Therefore let us make this pact, to let love bind us, one to another,
To always return, 'ere the green hills' grasses turn brown.
-
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand.
-
'Tis better to buy a small bouquet,
And give to your friend this very day,
Than a bushel of roses white and red,
To lay on his coffin after he's dead.
-
May all your joys be pure joys,
and all your pain champagne.
-
I wish you health, I wish you well, and happiness galore.
I wish you luck for you and friends; what could I wish you more?
May your joys be as deep as the oceans, your troubles as light as its foam.
And may you find, sweet peace of mind, where ever you may roam.
-
May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.
-
May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
