An Irish Blessing to Mr. Smith...
May the Good Saints protect ye
And the devil neglect ye!

An Irish blessing to the Beloved Family...
May the lilt of Irish laughter
Lighten every load,
May the mist of Irish magic
Shorten every road.
and with your Dad's memory,
May your heart be warm and happy
With the lilt of Irish laughter
Every day in every way
And forever and ever after!
