Emerald Rose


Forebears herald the Emerald Isle
Flame haired colleen with the sweetest smile,
Erin go brach in peace and love,
‘tis our dear Rose of Irelands dove
Ah to be sure, two years or more
Speeding by as softest grains
Freshest breezes blown unfolding
Rippling through angelic scales
Flowing to rest in realms unveiled
Creations woven, fused in truth.
Sharing blossoms fragranced tuneful
Melodies beauty sentiments swell
So harps ring out in celtic strain,
Congratulates dear Cynthia Gaines

Author notes

Legend of Saint Patrick Good St. Patrick travelled far, to teach God's Holy Word
And when he came to Erin's sod, a wondrous thing occurred
He plucked a shamrock from the earth and held it in His hand
To symbolise the Trinity that all might understand
The first leaf for the Father
And the second for the Son
The third leaf for the Holy Spirit
All three of them in one.

Dear Cynthia ~ always

"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand." Dearest Cynthia x x x s

        Thank you...

        Yes, it is very true Ireland is a majestic, awe-inspiring Emerald Isle, and I can understand completely why her people fight and die for freedom on her soil. Thanks again!!

    Excellent Gaelic feel. . . could hear pipes in the meadow and could see the bright flutter of fairy wings. You took the magic Isle and laid it at the reader's feet. I like this very much.
