An Irish Blessing
“Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden
the hearts of those who travel with us. So be swift to love,
make haste to be kind, go in peace to love and serve the Lord.”
I find it interesting that love is the key to this blessing; however, I trust that most blessings begin and end with love, even if not mentioned.
Love shapes my soul through song
My common aura is spiritual Love
The beauty of Love is God as God is Love
The work of my soul and my hands is Love
See the good in each other. . . and Love
Problems disappear when Love is nonce
Love is the solution, let my eyes understand
Love is a verb; and creates more Love
The work of my hands establishes Love
And brings God to my doorstep
Understand – Love, a journey of harmony friendship
“Go in Peace, Love, and serve the Lord”
