St Patrick’s Day Poems
There are countless St Patric’s Day poems to choose from, but one well-loved one is “The Love of St Patrick” which reads as follows:
May the love of St. Patrick,
find a place in your heart,
A love of a country,
a land set apart,
A love of a people,
so proud and so true,
and lastly the love,
that I feel now for you.
Another one, named “An Irish Blessing” reads:
May these rich blessings be your due—
A wealth of friendships, old and new,
Some service rendered, some solace given,
And gentle peace with God and Heaven.
