The Emerald Isle!


As green and as beautiful as Ireland is,
It's a place I've always longed to see,
And one day, I promised myself…
That Emerald Isle would be visited by me!

And now it seems my time has come!
A visit is due this year!
I will mix with the Irish, a language I love,
A link to my family over many a past year!

For the Murphy's and Killen's are descendants-
Of my family, on both parents side!
And so one day I swore to myself,
I would visit Ireland with pride!

And so the time is nearing,
When that dream will come to pass for me!
And I will wander through the place-
The place that I long to see!

I'll whisper ‘good morning' to the Leprechauns!
And bid them all good day!
And peep here and there, and hope…
That I will see them as I travel on my way!

And if I see a toadstool,
I shall rest a while and wait about,
You never know, so I am told…
When those leprechauns may come out!

And I shall look for a 4 leaf clover!
A thing I have looked for; for many a day,
But never once in all that time…
Has a 4 leaf clover come my way!

I believe in Fairies and Leprechauns!
And I am not superstitious at all!
In fact, I have to say it!
I've read of them from when I was small!

I may even get to meet a famous Irish poet!
Oh roll on the days to the Emerald Isle!
But for now, I will quietly dream…
Of Ireland!  And for me, the land of smile!

So take me down the river…
Were the water meets the place I want to be!
And the whispers all around of beauty,
Will be the only beauty that I will see!

That Good Old Emerald Isle...

Called;

Ireland!
