Greetings Card - sentiment card Front: Ornate lace style border in gold ink, on translucent green plastic Verse: In gold ink "A BLESSING. May the blessing of God await thee; may the sun of glory shine around thy bed; and may the gates of plenty, honour, and happiness be ever open to thee; may no sorrow distress thy days; may no grief disturb thy nights; may the pillow of peace kiss thy cheek, and the pleasures of imagination attend thy dreams; and when length of years make thee tired of earthly joys, and the curtain of death closes around thy last sleep of human existence, may the angle of God attend thy bed, and take care that the expiring lamp of life shall not receive one rude blast to hasten on its extinction."
