Rosemary's Blessing: 

May the Day never burden.

May the Dawn find Hope in Your Heart,

Approaching your New Day with Dreams, Possibilities, and Promises.

May the Evening find you Gracious and Fulfilled.

And may You go into the Night Blessed, Sheltered, and Protected.

To Bless the Space Between Us, John O'Donohue

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.
