a woman to love
and a smile on your face.

And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles.
So we'll know them by their limping.

May you have length with your days,
and strength with your step,
and may each season have a reason
to celebrate your faith in mankind!

Ah, that is the purest glory.
To live below with the Saints we know,
Ah, that is another story.

and remember my words of wisdom
feck'em if you can't take a joke.

it is something that we strive for.

Here's to Hell!
May the stay there be as fun as the way there!

May there be spring enough in your life
to outlast the winters;
May there be guitars (and drums) enough
to lift your spirits whenever you need it;
May you be gentle enough to comfort those who are hurting,
But revolutionary enough to bring heaven to those who need it now.
May there always be a leprechaun near you
to bring out laughter and dance and the child in you.
And may God always have room enough for you in the palm of his hand!
- Donated by Gregory Hicks

----------------------

May all your ups and downs be under the sheets.
- Patrick Ryan

----------------------

A boy may kiss his girl goodbye,
The sun may kiss the butterfly,
The wine may kiss the crystal glass,
And you, my friend, may kiss my ass.
