Poem: St. Patrick's Day

 St. Patrick’s Day

 

Today we celebrate Ireland,

The land of the emerald green

Where potatoes are grand

In this wee little land

And the snakes have all gone away.

 

The sun shines bright on Ireland.

Today may the clouds roll away

And the men of the land

With a lass holding hands

And the shamrocks all in bloom today.

 

This land all knows about Jesus

And he lets the faeries here stay

For St. Patrick came singing his song

And the snakes all fled away

So Jesus let the wee folk stay.

 

It’s magic, you see, in Ireland,

The land where the music does flow

With lyrics so fine sung all the time,

The beauty from Blarney they flow

As clouds bring green to the land we know.

 

Today we celebrate Ireland,

The land of the emerald green

Where potatoes are grand

In this wee little land

And the snakes have all gone away.

 

So raise for a toast to St. Patrick

And the men and women he loved

And the saviour he brought to the Irish

In this wee little land of green

For today we celebrate Ireland.

 About this poem: I'm not Irish, but I've been there a few times and I love it. It is beautiful, the people are friendly and it's just fun. This poem is a tribute to all of that along with the Saint of the day. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
