Even though we don't celebrate it here in the Philippines, this traditional Irish blessing has a very special meaning for me.
When I was on tour around USA and Europe with my college choir, we would sing this blessing everytime before we leave a tour stop. We usually stayed with locals at every stop, sharing wonderful moments and memories during our short stay. Every place that we left was a sad goodbye to the friends we made, sometimes it was goodbye for good.
We often sang this around hugs and tearful goodbyes,

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sunshine warm upon your face
The rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
Until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of hand...
