Irish blessings and toasts. |

Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 02:11 AM by Reciprocity
An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass to keep him from falling off the earth.
May you work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, and Dance like no one is watching.
Here's to you and here's to me I pray that friends we'll always be, But if by chance we disagree, The heck with you and here's to me!
May you be buried in a casket made from the wood of a 100 year old oak That I shall plant tomorrow.
May those who love us love us. And those that don't love us, May God turn their hearts. And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May he turn their ankles, So we'll know them by their limping.
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 hollow of His hand.
When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!
Mothers and fathers hold their children's hands for just a little while... And their hearts forever.
Do not resent growing old. Many are denied the privilege.
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 live forever And may the last words you hear be mine!
Here's to you and yours And to mine and ours. And if mine and ours Ever come across to you and yours, I hope you and yours will do As much for mine and ours As mine and ours have done For you and yours!

This is just outside Bunratty Castle in Ireland.
