I had posted this last year…, and the year before, so I sense a wee bit o’ tradition developing here…, but seems appropriate to the upcomin’ day
************
***********
May you always have
the sun on your face
And a dry path to walk.
May the stars fill your eyes
And the moon light
The way to your door
May you know
Peace in your dreams
And love in your heart
**********
And now, for all the real Celts out there, ’tis translated into true Irish:
*********************************
Fhéadfadh a bheith agat i gcónaí
an ghrian ar d’aghaidh
Agus cosán tirim chun siúl.
Bealtaine na réaltaí líonadh isteach do shúile
Agus an solas gealaí
An bealach chun doras
Bealtaine Tá a fhios agat
Síochána i do aisling
Agus grá i do chroí
**************
Bealtaine do Trioblóidí amháin a bheith aisling iontach !

I love the Irish blessing. I found you through your comment on Marylin’s blog (Things to tell my Mother) and I am glad I did. 🙂
This reminds me of one song by Enya for the Lord of the Rings, May it Be. http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/May+It+Be/1mHw46?src=5
It has the same air of gentle benediction, and those little bits of Irish… Wonderful, Paul!

Beautiful! 🙂
