In Honor of St. Patrick's Day
Upon this bonny day
In this lovely time of year,
We adorn our green array
To remember and revere
A man who bore a shamrock,
A clover with three leaves,
Used to teach those of God's lost flock
About the holy truth, the Trinity.
Some say that this holy man
Who encouraged others to repent
Drove out of beautiful Ireland
Even the feared and dreaded serpents.
On that special March day,
As we are adorning our green,
Let us remember the way
That St. Patrick would have been.

Post a CommentAlways been interested in St. Patrick's story. Nice idea to bring it to us via a poem.
Love the way you took the opportunity to teach with this! *:9)

The rhyming was nearly sarcastic and I enjoy the attitude and contrast between, perhaps, WWJD vs WWSPD =-)
