May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the road always rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies,
And quick to make friends.
May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you.
May you be in heaven half an hour
Before the devil knows you're dead!
May the saddest day of your future be no worse
Than the happiest day of your past.
May God always be with you.
