Rosemary's Blessing: 

May God bless you with tears…
to shed for those who suffer from pain,
rejection, starvation and war.
May God bless you so that
you may reach out your hand
to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.

Rosemary’s Blessing  

Revel in a friendly smile,

Grasp the offered hand, warm and strong,

And with your best love be reconciled.

 Watch the clouds march across the sky

As you come from your daily labor,

Your heart open for surprise

 And may the God of surprises

Who filled the world with wonder

Bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

 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
