I'll be really disappointed if I am not briefly and charmingly stopped on a road by some cows, let me just say.
To give the proper nerdy flavor to this post, we'll end with a bit of the old JRR ...
'It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door,' he used to say. 'You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off.' The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien

The love and affection of the angels be to you,
The love and affection of the saints be to you,
The love and affection of heaven be to you,
To guard and to cherish you.
May God shield you on every step,
May He aid you on every path,
And may He hold you safe on every slope,
On every hill and on every plain;
On earth and on sea until you are home again.
May the blessing of God's soft rain
be on you, falling gently on your head,
refreshing your soul with the sweetness
of summer flowers newly blooming.
May God bless all the dads
on this their special day.
Keep them safe, keep them whole,
and keep them from harm’s way.

The Lord delights in the way of the man whose steps He has made firm;
though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.
[Psalm 37:23,24]
thanks! although the one about the dads kind of confuses me ... or is that just one extremely thorough Irish blessing? :)
