An Irish Blessing
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 palm of His hand.
Dear Mom,
Until we meet again, I will hold you in my heart, your loving daughter Joan.
