Saint Patrick's Day Musings
Saint Patrick's Day Musings
I feel lucky on this Saint Patrick's Day
Perhaps my muse has something to say
As I'm decked out in my holiday green
She's painting pictures of a cozy scene
A thatched roof cottage in traditional style
Calls forth memories that make me smile
My ancestors lived in this country glen
Life was so much simpler then
Rising before dawn, they worked the land
Their food and clothing were made by hand
Labor was heavy and days were long
But in their hearts was always a song
The famine and troubles came at great cost
Though their Irish strength was never lost
The Emerald Isle gleams with their deep-set love
And speaks of their faith in God above.
Molly Moore
