May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your field And until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of His hand. May joy and peace surround you, Contentment latch your door, And happiness be with you now, And bless you evermore. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day—unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal. Always remember to forget the things that made you sad, but never forget to remember the things that made you glad.
