Thursday's thirteen: St. Patrick day
St. Patty's day is just next week so I thought I'd put together thirteen Irish blessings. Enjoy.
1. May those who love us, love us.
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he can not turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we may know them by their limping.
2. May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
3. There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.
4. "May the sons of your daughters smile up in your face."
5. May the enemies of Ireland never eat bread nor drink whiskey, but be afflicted with itching without the benefit of scratching
6. May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
7. Here's to you and yours
And to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours
Ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!
8. A toast to your coffin.
May it be made of 100 year old oak.
And may we plant the tree together, tomorrow.
9. May God bring good health to your enemies enemies.
10. Friend of my soul, this goblet sip
'twill chase the pensive tear.
'Tis not so sweet as woman's lip
but oh, 'tis more sincere.
11. I drink to your health when I'm with you,
I drink to your health when I'm alone,
I drink to your health so often,
I'm starting to worry about my own
12. I have known many
liked not a few
loved only one
so this toast's for you
13. St. Patrick was a gentleman, who thru strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland, Here's a toasting his health
But not too many lest you lose yourself and then
You forget the good St. Patrick and see those snakes again
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he can not turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we may know them by their limping.
2. May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
3. There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.
4. "May the sons of your daughters smile up in your face."
5. May the enemies of Ireland never eat bread nor drink whiskey, but be afflicted with itching without the benefit of scratching
6. May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
7. Here's to you and yours
And to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours
Ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!
8. A toast to your coffin.
May it be made of 100 year old oak.
And may we plant the tree together, tomorrow.
9. May God bring good health to your enemies enemies.

Happy St. Patricks Day!
~*~Happy St, Patrick's Day!~*~
Here are some photos I cut out of a magazine with Irish sayings on them,
and also some of Irish saying that I have saved to share just for you lucky people.
~*~
Deep peace of the running waves to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air
to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air
to you.
Deep peace of the smilimg stars to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth
to you.
Deep peace of the watching shepherds to you.
Deep peace of the son of peace
to you.
an old Irish prayr ~
~*~
~*~
Bless your house and any who
enter with this old Irish blessing.~
May there always be work for yourhands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your window pane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
May gold fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
~*~
May those who love , love us.
And those that don't love us.
May God turn there hearts:
And if he dosen't turn
their hearts.
their hearts.
May he turn their ankles.
So we'll know who
they are from their
limpimg.
an old Gaelic blessing ~
