An Irish Blessing

 My dearest, Lads and Lassies, 
 your young wee ones, too,
  may the hearth be afire at your feet,
   may your heart be warmed by love
    and gentle be the winds behind you.

Dear friends, each and everyone,
  may the mug you lift be filled with grace,
   may the table before you overflow with love,
    may the mercy you give to others
     be even greater than the mercy of the Creator.
 
Remember those who have come the long way,
   that we have said farewell to many behind us,
    may they dwell midst the goodness of glory
      and may we at the end of our journey 
        be blessed by the sight of them and our dear Jesus.
