Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Happy St Patrick’s Day Ireland!
Here is the link to the song I love about Ireland, Galway Bay. It was one of my dad’s favourites too.

The voice recording below is me singing this song. I’m not a singer and haven’t sung for a long time. My breathing is not very good because I suffer from COPD. So please excuse my poor attempt!
The land of the Leprechauns in Irish folklore.The little bearded men in green coats and top hats.Your mischief is well known in many a tales I’ve read.No one has yet found your prized possession the pot of gold.That you have safely hidden at the end of the rainbow. The Irish wear the three-leaf clover Shamrock with pride.The Shamrock that represents the Holy Trinity of divine.The Gaelic harp which symbolises the pride of the country.Celtic ringed cross that shows your identity of wholeness.Your friendliness outpoured with smiles, a drink, and many a tales. I wish to go across the Irish sea to Ireland.And as the song say watch the moon rise over Claddagh,And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.To smell the perfumed air of the heather as they blow.But I’m glad I have tasted Guinness in your land. As you celebrate St Patrick’s Day todayTo commemorate the Saint’s deathA Saint who had a vision to return to IrelandTo spread the message of ChristianityLet us remember safety, good health, and peace in every land. Would your kitchens smell of corned beef and cabbage today?Or would it be Irish Stew, potatoes, and onions?Whatever traditional food you haveMake sure you have a pint of Guinness.And an Irish Coffee from me!
