If you’re enough lucky to be Irish… You’re lucky enough!
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks. May your heart be as light as a song. May each day bring you bright, happy hours that stay with you all the year long.
May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far.
May the roof above you never fall in and those gathered beneath it never fall out.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.
Wherever you go and whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be there with you.
May misfortune follow you the rest of your life, and never catch up.
What butter and whiskey won’t cure, there is no cure for.
