Celtic Through and Through
Celtic through and through
Irish from her tip to her toe
Ginger haired with verdent eyes
Her face is the map of Ireland
She must be from Dublin one guesses.
Another thinks she walked out of a rainbow.
She’s reputed to have lived with leprechauns.
The girl smiles to herself.
Being British and German, she feels smug
Because she has pulled a trick
on a

What do I want to say to You?
The light of my life, the whole truth
You give my heart rest, You’re the glue
You’ve held me together since youth
You’re the wonder that frees my soul
What do I want to say to You?
You’re lasting peace, making me whole
You’re love that will always come through
Your light the darkness can’t

Thoreau Through and Through
Thoreau Through and Through
Breathe and observe, duet sitting on a beach,
Or a Walden Pond, attend details' breach,
Ripples, waves, light glinting off splashes,
Warm sun crust, rays streaking striped sashes,
Surge after surge wash over and under,
Awareness catches subtle and quiet thunder,
Surface Cat's Paws emerge by breeze breath,
Wash lapping waves upon lack of depth,
Closed eyes hear resounds of

Southern Through and Through
Southern Through and Through
Dr. Jim Martin
I am satisfied in my Southern ways,
I am really quite content.
I think I’ll stay and settle here
That is really my intent.
Do not try and persuade me to change my mind,
Saying I have surely lost my way.
I am really not interested in other locales

The Wind Through and Through the Trees
The wind was crawling through and through the trees,
and through again your hair as dark and thick
as fog, my fingers curled all through it, like
a breeze your lips came near my ear, a soft
and throaty whisper poured all out and lay
as calm as grass and stillness of the hills.

Through and Through
Through grace our sins are left behind,
Each day now we spread message in kind.
Through life willfully given up to death,
We each day partake in living breath.
Through Him we averted spiritual loss,
Now souls blossom unlike flowerless moss.
Through His love a life saved from wrath,
Same now beckons to walk sanctioned path.
Through His grace we received this gift,

When your impish child did become difficult
Best option has always been the belt
Which was wrapped across the rear end
To straighten out child is what you intend.
Why should you let all of your plans scatter
Try to get down to the seat of the matter
What they want to do is have rules bent
Object of their

Through your eyes I see your soul. through my eyes theres a story to be told.
Throught this darkness i still see the light, throughout this journey i continue to
fight. Through the pain, I found pleasure. through your love, i found a treasure.
through the bitterness, i remain sweet. Through the falls
