An Irish Blessing
May the blessing of the rain
be on you--
the soft sweet rain.
May it fall upon your spirit
so that all the little flowers
may spring up,
and shed their sweetness on
the air.
May the blessing of the
great rains be on you
may they beat upon your
spirit
and wash it fair and clean,
and leave there many a
shining pool
where the blue of heaven
shines,
and sometimes a star.

What a great photo and I enjoyed that blessing. I haven't heard that one before. We are celebrating St. Patty's Day today, preparing a traditional meal. It brings back sweet memories. Thanks for this Laura.
Beautiful blessing Laura, thank you!
Lots of "great rains" lately. I hope they are doing what the blessing says.
My son Noah has a knack for finding 4-leaf clovers in the backyard. I've never found one...but maybe I'm not really looking?
Beautiful picture and blessing -- it speaks to the Irish in me!
Love the Irish Blessing! Beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend Laura! :)
We don't as often think of rains as a blessing as we do the sun. This is beautiful.
This is perfect for Still Saturday. Hint. Hint.
Basking today in crazy South Dakota sunshine and heat in March, but those rains sound quite lovely too.
What a lovely blessing...Wishing a blessed St. Patrick's Day to you, Laura, your family & your new four legged friend :)
Thank you for the sweet blessing. We have been blessed for several days with refreshing rain that has washed clean all around us. We anticipate with joy the flowers that will come forth soon.
This is beautiful Laura. You are one of my already amazing friends dear heart!
Great shot!

Have a blessed weekend!!
