Sounds were muffled

as the parade began across town

bands are playing

St. Patrick in his royal gown

Spirit merging with the day

filled with delight

carrying green roses

with emeralds shining in the sun light

Parade getting closer

heart beating to the sounds of the drums

dancing to the music

joined together as one

Sitting outside a pub

toasting with a green beer

singing Irish songs

day is bright and clear

Getting up

dancing a jig

people are happy

a few wearing a wig

St. Patrick extending blessings

to all who can hear

there is joy in the air

spring is good this year

Celebrations of spring

complete with a four leaf clover

there is excitement in the air

winter is over
