May the Road Rise

There are three pieces of poetry that I cherish.  Why?  All 3 of 'em speak kind words of encouragement to others, wishing them blessing as they journey life's road.  Heartfelt words that I'd love to be able to memorize to share on a regular basis.

One of them is The Priestly Blessing;  from an earlier MattChat post:

One of them is I Wish, a song by Billy Sprague that I need to post here on MattChat sometime.

The 3rd one:  an Irish classic that's been set to music.  See below.

Powerful words.

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -

Matt

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

May the rain fall softly on your fields

And until we meet again

May you keep safe

In the gentle loving arms of God

For everything there is a season

A time for meeting

A time to say goodye

In all things

God is near

Always guiding your way

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

May the rain fall softly on your fields

And until we meet again

May you keep safe

In the gentle loving arms of God

For everything there is a season

A time for laughter

A time for tears and pain

In all things

God is near

Always guiding your way

May the road rise to meet you

May the wind be at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

May the rain fall softly on your fields

And until we meet again

May you keep safe

In the gentle loving arms of God
