May the road rise to meet you

Known simply as "Irish Blessing", this has always been one of my favorite bits of... well, I don't know what to call it really.  Poetry?  Whatever you call it, it's a wonderful reminder that with apologies to David Gates (The Goodbye Girl), "Goodbye doesn't mean forever."  I've been toying with the idea of setting it to music, and have a chorus put together that I'm not thoroughly disgusted with.  Verses will of course take forver and a day to come up with, as always...

 

May the road rise to meet you

And the wind blow at your back

May the sun shine upon your face

And rain your fields never lack

Even though we go our separate ways

Do please understand

That until we meet again

May God hold you

In the palm of his hand
