Go n-éirí an bóthar leat
Go raibh an ghaoth go brách ag do chúl
Go lonraí an ghrian go te ar d'aghaidh
Go dtite an bháisteach go mín ar do pháirceanna
Agus go mbuailimid le chéile arís,
Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú.

Anyone know what it means? My Irish is not at all good but I can tell the translation is a bit off, the first line means, may you have a good journey! There are at least two more versus of this poem and it is Old style Irish. It sounds good though!

More's the liking to get you on Skype to teach me to speak the verse in the proper tongue!! Reading without the pronunciation leaves me wanting only a tad bit more! Do we need to travel there to learn the verse from ye in person?

Prayin those blocks are helping you as what I received this morning is helping me.

God be the guide to bring twin SCS units to remedy your needs and soon,
Prayin,
Mark56 for dear friend Sinéadzzzzzzz
