Some handsome old geezers you may know by now

Rosemary’s Blessing:   

May the sun shine bright on your joyous days,

And the rain refresh you through peaceful nights.

May summer show God’s wondrous ways

And prepare you for heaven’s great delights.

And till we meet there

May the God of summertime

Hold you in the palm of her hand
