Words to cook by

I suppose I am a sparrow, a stay-at-home bird. Gladys Taber

An Irish Blessing

Warm be the love that surrounds you,

Good be your friends, and true,

Constant be hope and promise,

Useful the work you do,

Close be your family around you,

Good health be yours day by day,

Long be the life you're living,

And full of much joy on the way.
