Animal Crackers: GOLDEN'S VERSION

About Me

Location: Midwest, United States

I am a senior citizen who enjoys writing and other forms of communication. I enjoy designing cards for all occasions. Dogs have always been a major part of my life. I have published my own dog magazine, written dog columns for a local newspaper's web site and major TV station web site, and conducted informational classes about dogs through the library system for over 25 years. I write poems about each one of my dogs. My biggest achievement was becoming a member of Mensa. Music makes me happy. I love to dance. Skating was my life when I was young. Adopting a rescue dog has given me a new start in life. He has taught me so much.

GOLDEN'S VERSION - IRISH BLESSING

GOLDEN'S VERSION OF AN OLD IRISH BLESSING

May the road rise to meet you. (After a VERY, VERY long walk with lots of birds, rabbits, squirrels and even leaves to chase along the way. And please let there be sticks to carry. Lots of sticks.)

May the wind be always at your back. (Especially if you have become wet
from your swim on that
very, very long walk, however, wind on my front is also very nice.)

May the sun shine warm upon your face. (You know we all enjoy this !!
Makes us look even more
golden and settles us in for a nice nap after our very, very, very long
walk.)

And rains fall soft upon your fields. (Wet fields makes digging all the
more fun on that very long
walk !!)

And until we meet again, (You know I'll go CRAZY when I see ya sometime
in the next ten minutes
~~ even though I've been with you all the way on that very, very, long
walk.)

May God hold you in the hollow of His hand. (Sounds good to me.)
