Saint Patrick the Shepherd - a Poem
A Poem for St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick as a young man
Was captured and carried away.
He became a slave in Ireland,
Where he's loved until this day.
Was captured and carried away.
He became a slave in Ireland,
Where he's loved until this day.
Patrick tended his sheep flock,
Where he heard the voice of God,
And he became a shepherd,
To those born on Irish sod.
He used the Irish shamrock
To teach the trinity.
He showed the Celtic Church
The path to Eternity.
So wear your green with honor
And remember this great man --
A saint who learned as a captive
To seek God and follow his plan.
