One thing that the Irish are famous for are their blessings. This is our collection of them. You will find that some are witty, others humorous and some are sincere. That's very much like the Irish themselves!
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 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 to you.
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you
As you slide down the Banister of Life,
May the Splinters never point the wrong way
We cannot share a sorrow,
If we haven't grieved a while.
Nor can we feel another's joy,
Until we've learned to smile.
Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter
Lullabies, dreams and love ever after.
Poems and songs with pipes and drums
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes...
That's the Irish for you!
Always remember to forget,
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember,
The things that made you glad.
Always remeber to forget,
The friends that proved untrue.
But don't forget to remember,
those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget,
The troubles that have passed away.
But never forget to remember,
The blessings that come each day.
There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle
'Twas Saint Patrick himself sure that set it
And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile
And a tear from his eyes oft-times wet it
It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the mireland
And they call it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland
