Rosemary's Blessing

Bless you and yours. 

As well as the cottage 

       you live in. 

May the roof overhead 

       be well thatched

And those inside be well matched.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    … May God bless you with enough foolishness
    to believe that you can make a difference
    in this world, in your neighborhood,
    so that you will courageously try
    what you don’t think you can do, but,
    in Jesus Christ you’ll have all the strength necessary.
