Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Irish Saint Patrick's Day Toast
Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.
'Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!'
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

And to you, my friends...
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night,
and a smooth road all the way to your door.

I have known many,
and liked not a few,
but loved only one
and this toast is to you.

May the lilt of Irish laughter
lighten every load.
May the mist of Irish magic
shorten every road...
And may all your friends remember
all the favours you are owed!

Here's to the land of the shamrock so green,
Here's to each lad and his darlin colleen,
Here's to the ones we love dearest and most.
May God bless old Ireland, that's this Irishman's toast!
I'll raise a glass and toast you all tonight...you can count on it!!

Peace to you and Ireland...
