| (A Blessing from St. Patrick) |
| May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, May the rains fall soft upon your fields, And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. |
| (Traditional Irish Blessing; origin unknown, although some attribute it to St. Patrick.) |
