No money could buy it.
For you ask why.
For the gift is from my heart.
Written in a letter,
never to be apart.
The hope I have for you.
Is luck and happiness in all you do?
Not just on St Patrick's day,
health and happiness come your way.
Precious time
to unwind.
Dancing with me,
my sweet honeybee.
My kilt of blue and green.
Your skin is so natural as of a queen.
Raise our mugs of beer.
Shout to the rooftop a cheer.
For the love, I have for you, my gal.
My lady, my lass, my sweet pal.
My Irish dream is to marry you.
In fields of lavender, precious dreams come true.
Gifts from an Irish man
are often a little pot of gold.
Many myths and poetry are told.
Our four-leaf clover,
shall pour-over.
Our rainbow will brighten the sky.
Bless with home-cooked shepherd pie.
Leprechauns have magical powers.
For you, I will have hours.
I will bring joy to you every day.
May God be with you and bless you in many a way.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Dear Cathy ~ Rita Louise was Irish ~ When her family came here (On Holiday - in Droves) WE were the experience for them - hanging photos in their "Sullivan's Pub" - My father-in-law, Michael Regan, had so-so many yarns while strumming his Madeline: Fun Memory. * Please take a moment to view 'Am I Choosing UP?' you will certainly relate. Best to you Jay
