Another Saint in Kelly Green

Across the spectrum and beyond

There flows a sea of Kelly green

As celebration dances

To a jig for chasing cares away.

The laughing Pub,

The village square,

The shamrock flourish on parade,

And everyone is Irish

If only for a single day.

 

And saints preserve,

As saints may do,

The mystery of miracles,

The goodliness of Godliness,

Of daring deeds empirical.

And may an Irish blessing

Raise a torch on high

To light the way.

A lesson earned,

A lesson learned

On this, Saint Patrick’s day.
