Happy Saint Patricks Day

May you be at the gates of heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead. Here's to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold pint and another one. May neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angles protect you and heaven accept you. May your heart be light and happy, may your smile be big and wide, and may your pockets always have a coin or two inside. May the enemies of Ireland never meet a friend. May the roof above never fall in and those gathered beneath it never fall out. May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past. May misfortune follow you for the rest of your life, and never catch up. May your home always be too small to hold all of your friends. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
