A Celtic Blessing

“May the blessing of soft rain be on you,

Falling gently on your head refreshing your soul,

With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.

May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you,

Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean,

Sparkling after the sunlight.

May the blessing of God’s earth be on you,

And as you walk the roads,

May you always have a kind word for those you meet.”
