May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go
And guide you in whatever you do.
And may his loving protection
Be a blessing to you always

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!

May the road rise up to meet you;
May the wind be always at your back,
The sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

May the grass grow long on the road to hell
for want of use.

May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.

May you be in heaven 1/2 hour before
the devil knows you're dead.

May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future.

May bad luck always follow you, and never catch up.



May there be just enough clouds on your horizon
to cause a beautiful sunset.

May the roof above us never fall in,
and may we friends gathered below never fall out.

May you be poor in misfortune and rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies and quick to make friends.
But rich or poor, quick or slow, may you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

May the face of every good news
and the back of every bad news be toward us.

Like the goodness of the five loaves and two fishes,
Which God divided among the five thousand men,
May the blessing of the king who so divided
Be upon our share of this common meal.

May the strength of three be in your journey.

May there be a generation of children
on the children of your children.

May the lord keep you in his hand
and never close his fist too tight on you.

May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always carry a shilling or two
May the sun always play on your windowpane
May a rainbow chase after each spot of rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
May God fill your heart with gladness and cheer you.

May your blessings outnumber
the shamrocks that grow
And may trouble avoid you
wherever you go.



May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

May your pockets be heavy and your hearts be light.
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

May you live as long as you want
And never want as long as you live.

May peace and joy surround you,
Contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now
And bless you evermore.

May you see your children's children.

May the love and protection Saint Patrick can give be yours in abundance as long as you live.
