A sunbeam to warm you,

A moonbeam to charm you,

A sheltering angel,

so nothing can harm you.





May God grant you many years to live,

For sure He must be knowin'

The earth has Angels all too few

And Heaven is overflowing





May those that love us, love us.

And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts.

And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles

So we will know them by their limping.

May your pockets be heavy

and your heart be light

May good luck pursue you

each morning and night





May you live all the days of your life,

and May the saddest day of

your future be no worse

Than the happiest day of your past!





THE LEPRECHAUN

Near a misty stream in Ireland

in the hollow of a tree

Live mystical, magical leprechauns

who are clever as can be

With their pointed ears, and turned up toes

and little coats of green

The leprechauns busily make their shoes

and try hard not to be seen.

Only those who really believe

have seen these little elves

And if we are all believers

We can surely see for ourselves.





May you be in heaven a half an hour

Before the Devil knows you're dead!

  AN OLD IRISH WEDDING BLESSING

May God be with you and bless you

May you see your children's children

May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings

May you know nothing but happiness

From this day forward





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.





May you have

Walls for the wind

And a roof for the rain,

And drinks beside the fire

Laughter to cheer you

And those you love near you,

And all that your heart may desire





May God grant you always...

A sunbeam to warm you,

A moonbeam to charm you,

A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.

Laughter to cheer you,

Faithful friends near you.

And whenever you pray,

Heaven to hear you.

May the music of the meadow

with its songs of silver streams

Bring sunlight to the paths you walk,

and magic to your dreams.





Always remember to forget

The troubles that passed away.

But never forget to remember

The blessings that come each day.





May joy and peace surround you,

Contentment latch your door,

And happiness be with you now

And bless you evermore.





He who loses money, loses much;

He who loses a friend, loses more;

He who loses faith, loses all.





May the roof over our heads never fall in.

And may we as friends never fall out.





St. Patrick was a gentleman

Who through strategy and stealth

Drove all the snakes from Ireland.

Here's toasting to his health.

But not too many toastings

Lest you lose yourself and then

Forget the good St. Patrick

And see all those snakes again.





Always remember to forget

The things that made you sad.

But never forget to remember

The things that made you glad.





Always remember to forget

The friends that proved untrue.

But never forget to remember

Those who have stuck by you.





May the Blessings of the Light be on you,

Light Without and Light Within.





'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 your heart be warm and happy

With the lilt of Irish laughter

Every day in every way

And forever and ever after.





Health and a long life to you.

Land without rent to you.

A child every year to you.

And if you can't go to heaven,

May you at least die in Ireland.





As you slide down the bannister of life,

May the splinters never point the wrong way.





These things, I warmly wish for you,

Someone to love,

Some work to do,

A bit of o' sun,

A bit o' cheer,

And a guardian angel

Always near.





May the most you wish for

Be the least you get.





Lucky stars above you,

Sunshine on your way,

Many friends to love you,

Joy in work and play~

Laughter to outweigh each care,

In your heart a song~

And gladness waiting everywhere

All your whole life long!





Do not resent growing old.

Many are denied the privilege.





May your blessings outnumber

The Shamrocks that grow,

And may trouble avoid you

Wherever you go.





May your troubles be less

And your blessings be more.

And nothing but happiness

Come through your door.





May you live as long as you want,

And never want as long as you live.





May the good saints protect you

And bless you today,

And may troubles ignore you

Each step of the way.
