We love this wonderful short prayer. The song was born on a warm spring day in the gardens of a country manor as the song birds joined for the chorus and the bairn was chasing butterflies near by. A perfect setting for a joyous improvisation, which was to evolve into this perfectly formed song.
lyrics
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.
(Trad. Prayer)
