Position:Home>Poetry> Can someone please help me come up with wording for this?


Question:My husband (i.e. Soul Mate) is Irish, and because of my suggestion, he just fulfilled a life-long dream of becoming a member of a local Pipe and Drums band. He will be playing one of the drums. Anyway, I got him a flask as kind of a Congratulatory gift (which is a traditional thing they carry in their uniform) and wanted to get it engraved, but it can only fit 3 lines with 12 characters each including spaces!! As you can see, I am kinda tight on space, so all my ideas are out the window and I am asking for help in coming up with something. I want something kinda witty, if possible. Can some one help me, please?

Hi. There is an old Irish Blessing that goes:

May (my) love and laughter light your days,
and warm our heart(s) and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

and write that on a scroll and include it with:

You could try:
Romantic-

May my love
for you be
the music to
your heart

Silly-

I like to
kiss you,
you're Irish!

i don't know how silly you want it. not much room to be witty but here's my attempt:

Held my
Liquor. Lost
The Beat.

DON'T
DRINK AND
DRUM ; )
