Saint of Ireland

Saint of Ireland


Color green reminds me
Of saint Patrick of Ireland.
What better symbol than
The Clover for the Holy Trinity
The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost?
Hail to Saint Patrick’s Day all through the world!
Celebrated in joy and gay abandon
Song and dance, cabbage and meat
Along with the season of Lent.
The green dyed Chicago River
Flows with the spirit of Irish unity
Beware of cranky leprechauns
Cobblers for the angelic kind
Out in the world with mischievous magic.
