A sunbeam to warm you,

Laughter to cheer you.
Faithful friends near you.
And whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you."

Hi Cat, so beautiful pictures, they look like dancers and animals, too cute (not the skulls, though). I think the Irish blessing is wonderful, I know there are many different ones, and they have a lot of beauty in them. Thank you for sharing this.
