A WISH FOR YOUR HAPPINESS
May you have comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so that you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.
AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH
May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
AN IRISH BLESSING
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
May you live to be a hundred,
and may I sing at your wake!
I asked the Lord to bless you
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way....
His love is always with you
His promises are true
No matter what the tribulation
You know He will see us through
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Give your problems to the Lord
And God will do the rest.
May you be buried in a casket
made from the wood of a 100 year old oak.....
that I shall plant tomorrow.
May the Lord keep you in His hand
And never close His fist too tight.
As you slide down the bannister of life,
May the splinters never point the wrong way.
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
TO THE NEWLYWEDS
A health to you,
A wealth to you,
And the best that life can give to you.
May fortune still be kind to you,
And happiness be true to you,
And life be long and good to you,
Is the toast of all your friends to you.
Here's to the bride and the bridegroom,
We'll ask their success in our prayers,
And through life's dark shadows and sunshine
That good luck may always be theirs.
AN IRISH BLESSING
A BLESSING
May you have
warm words on a
cold evening,
A full moon on a
dark night,
And the road
downhill all
the way to your door.
- Mary Engelbreit
HERE'S TO THE GOOD
Count your garden by the flowers,
Never by the leaves that fall.
Count your days by golden hours,
Don't remember clouds at all . . .
Count your nights by stars, not shadows,
Count your life with smiles, not tears.
And all throughout your lifetime,
Count your age by friends, not years.
A WISH
May the stars always light your path,
The wind keep your secrets,
And the moon guard your dreams--
ALWAYS.
ANOTHER WISH
May God hold you in the palm of His hand,
embracing you, giving you strength to carry all that He gives you...
May you have cause to give Him thanks,
and may you start each day with a heart full of smiles.
A SUCCESSFUL LIFE
There is no greater accomplishment
Than sharing the magic of laughter,
The harmony of friendship,
And the beauty of love.
And there is no success so sweet
As truly living every day of life
And enjoying it to the fullest.
