HAVE A FANTASTIC SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!!
The utterly impractical, never predictable,
Sometimes irascible, quite inexplicable Irish?
Strange blend of shyness, pride and conceit,
And stubborn refusal to bow in defeat
We’re spoiling and ready to argue and fight,
Yet the smile of a child fills our souls with delight.
Our eyes are the quickest to well up with tears,
Yet our strength is the strongest to banish your fears.
Our hate is as fierce as our devotion is grand,
And there’s no middle ground on which we will stand
We’re wild and we’re gentle, we’re good and we’re bad,
We’re proud and we’re humble, we’re happy and sad.
We’re in love with the ocean, the earth and the skies,
We’re enamored with beauty, wherever it lies.
We’re victor and victim, a star and a clod,
But mostly we’re Irish … in love with our God.
