May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May you have love that never ends,
Lots of money, and lots of friends.
Health be yours, whatever you do,
And may God send many blessings to you!
May peace and plenty bless your world
With a joy that long endures
And may all life’s passing seasons
ring the best to you and yours.
May this St Patrick’s Day find you with green in your pocket and a little spring in your step! Happy St Patrick's Day
May the luck of the Irish be with you this St Patrick’s Day. Happy St Patrick’s Day!
