Irish Blessing 21

Death leaves a heartache
no one can heal;
Love leaves a memory no
one can steal.

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away.
May you live as long as you want, And never want as long as you live.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around you, and whispered, “Come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands rest. […]
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.
