May brooks and trees and singing hills, join in the chorus too, and every gentle wind that blows, send happiness to you.

ERIN — Where the wind has a sound like a sweet song, and anyone can hum it, and the heather grows upon the hills and shamrocks aren't far from it.

May joy and peace surround you, contentment latch your door, and happiness be with you now, and belss you evermore.

May you always walk in sunshine.

May you never want for more.

May Irish angels rest their heads beside your door.

May you always have these blessings . . .

a soft breeze when summer comes,

a warm fireside in winter. . .

And always the warm, soft smile of a friend.

When we awaken to the ordinary beauty in our every day lives, warm and loving parts of ourselves grow and extend out to those we love.

Every day is a day of thanksgiving.

Live it, love it and be blessed.
