An Irish Blessing / Roma Downey

May the blessing of Light be upon you
Light on the outside, Light on the inside
With God's sunlight shining on you
May your heart glow with warmth like a turf fire
That welcomes friends and strangers alike
May the Light of the Lord shine from your eyes
Like a candle in the window
Welcoming the weary traveler
May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you
Falling gently on your head
Refreshing your soul
With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming
May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you
Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean
Sparkling after in the sunlight
May the blessing of God's Earth be on you
And as you walk the roads
May you always have a kind word
For those you meet
May you understand the strength and power of God
In a thunderstorm in winter
And the quiet beauty of creation
In the calm of a Summer sunset
And may you come to realize that
Insignificant as you may seem
In this great universe
You "ARE"
An import!!!!!!ant part of God's plan
May He watch over you
And keep you safe
From harm
