Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you,

May the wind be ever at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

And the rain fall softly on your fields,

And until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May Brian’s soul and spirit rest in peace in the Lord's Kingdom.
