“Saint Patrick’s Day“

Who wants to share my pot of Gold?

It’s from the luck of an Irishman, I’m told.

One coin each, I freely bestow,

To hearts that care, let kindness grow.

For I am Saint Patrick, Apostle so true,

In Ireland’s soil, my mission grew.

Captured young, a slave was I

Under Irish skies, my spirit did cry.

Six years passed, till I broke away,

To my family’s arms, I returned one day.

But a vision called, a voice so clear,

“Return to Ireland, bring faith near!”

So back I went, my heart aglow,

Spreading the Gospel, watching it grow.  

Became Bishop of Armagh, revered and wise,

Leading the faithful under Irish skies.

No taxes I claim, no riches I lend,

Only the love of the Lord I, do send.

On March 17^th, my story is told,

The saint who shared his pot of gold.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to All!
