Notes About The Poem

Carndonagh a little town in English translated = Sunday cross called after St Patricks cross situated in the town 

Slieve snaght our local mountain  in Donegal translated = Snow mountain

Magherarnett translated = High plain 

Amazing Grace is in the valley known for its surrounding beauty we call it God's country smiling 

 

 

Thank You God

After the storm gale force red a calm light filled baby blue sky 
whistling birds singing a choir of divine beauty fills the air 
deeply warm touching without profit costing nothing 
fills inside with strength casting dark shadows out always remains
enveloped within prayer death love one's power inside weakness pure

White sparsely scattered mother of pearl clouds cap Snow mountain 
sweeping over Amazing grace dreams casting magic spells spring
Coming down the High plain gazing towards Trawbegga bay
Tides enchanting a dark shade of blue distant thoughts brew 
without cost profits nothing spirit of kindness overwhelming true beams

A cool spring breeze dusting the brow speaks
silently warm finger rays paint a beautiful garden Eden 
Bells tolling calling the flock to worship kneeling humble 
Spirit of freedom cries in the town of the Sunday cross 
blessed I am oh Lord in this amazing view honored by your deep presence

You take us to the top of Snow Mountain and show us your view of life. A feeling of "free" pervades within your words setting the scene with crisp breathes of expectation. The allure of Spring has captured your imagination and allowed you to be one with your surroundings and in this heightened state of awareness you share the innocence of a man enamored with the beauty of nature.
