A.M.D.G.

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.
You pray for me,
As I pray for thee,
That we may meet merrily in heaven.
