A FLOURISH FOR ARLO

A FLOURISH FOR ARLO

on the occasion of his naming, 29.5.2017

There is a piece of Gaelic wisdom which goes

Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí.

It translates to English as

Praise the young and they will flourish.

Dá bhrí sin, molaim Arlo agus tiochfaidh sé.

Thus, I praise Arlo and he will flourish,

Mar atá sé tagtha go dtí an lá seo

As he has flourished to this day.

Molaim Zoe agus Briain agus tiochfaidh siadsan.

I praise Zoe and Brian and they will flourish.

Agus sinne, fosta. Comhluadar Arlo.

And us, too. Arlo’s family and company.

Molaim muidne agus tiochfaidh muid. Le Arlo.

I praise us and we will flourish. With Arlo.
