May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live
* * * * * * *
May your neighbors respect you
troubles neglect you
the angels protect you
and heaven accept you.
* * * * * *
May your home always be too small to hold all your friends
* * * * *
May you be in Heaven an hour
Before the Devil knows you’re dead

Somehow I managed to NOT have any Irish in me. But, I do wear green on St. Pat’s day. But I refuse to drink green beer!
Erin Go Bragh!
One that I grew up with stitched in a sampler:
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the sun always be at your back,
May the rain fall soft upon your field,
and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
It was “an olde Irish blessing” (which I never understood since we’re German and Scots- lol!)
