Green, Green, Green

For 'tis green, green, green where the ruined towers are gray,
And it's green, green, green all the happy night and day;
Green of leaf and green of sod, green ivy on the wall,
And the blessed Irish shamrock with the fairest green of all.
~Mary Elizabeth Blake






May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
♧ Irish Blessing

Wearin' O' the Green


When law can stop the blades of grass from growin' as they grow,
An' when the leaves in summer time their color dare not show,
Then I will change the color, too, I wear in my caubeen;
But till that day, praise God, I'll stick to the Wearin' o' the Green.
♧Author Unknown 





May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go

♧ Irish Blessing
