Rosemary's Blessing: 

May the blessing of light be upon you,

Light on the outside, Light on the inside.
With God's sunlight shining on you,
May your heart glow with warmth,
Like a turf fire that welcomes friends and strangers alike.

 Rosemary’s Blessing  

May those that love us, love us. And those that don't love us,

May God turn their hearts. And if He doesn't turn their hearts,

May He turn their ankles, so we will know them by their limping.

Rosemary's Blessing:

Rosemary's Blessing

Dear Lord, please give me

 A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,
     without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

A sense of humor;

Time for quiet, silent meditation;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things,

Amen.
