Pain

pain

It is greedy and evil like a cancer it sucks the life from me. It works relentlessly from in side of me never completely setting me free.

It rips and tears at my skin it burns and festers never giving in. It is blind and deaf to my attempts to halt it’s progress. It is heartless cruel unkind.

It marches on ignoring my entreaties to it to stop and let me rest it drags me down and down in to the dark and stalks me closely like a pest.It makes a grab at me as I go past, it teases me relenting in it’s hold so I think I am free then it cuts through my skin anew  whispering it will  beat me until I am old!

It hates me, it hates me it makes me pay each day it drags me down and casts me down , it is never going away.

Go mbeannaí Dia is Muire duit

fairy kiss, fairy wish.

For St Patrick’s day wishes to all who visit this page and all who don’t too!!

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May sun shine warm upon your face,
the rain fall soft upon your fields,
and until we meet again
may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

It is Mothers’ day in the UK so here is another Irish Blessing .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For my mother who raised me at her breast.
And my father who raised me by the work of his bones.
I trust in the Son of God when they enter his presence,
That there will be a hundred thousand welcomes for them
In the heavens of peace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God Bless you all

and just for good measure

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more
And nothing but happiness
Come though your door.
