It always seems to be the same,

that for each and every year

all the people come in droves

just to share in all the cheer.

But, do they really know

of what it really means

on this very holy day

when we celebrate the green?

It’s not about the nationality,

though many think it’s so.

That’s why I’m here to give you facts

that you all need to know.

The man whose day we celebrate

was a man like you and me.

He helped many find the truth

about the Trinity.

Using the shamrock as a guide,

he helped them on their way.

That’s why they’re so many Catholics

in Ireland today.

This man, enslaved by Irish pagans,

was of Welsh descent.

Due to pagan ways and prayers,

Ireland is where he went.

He tried so hard to make them see

the reality of the Lord.

He prayed for those who refused to see

and those who chose to ignore.

Many say, he chased the snakes

far from Ireland’s shore.

Though, in fact, he converted pagans

to where they could find the Lord.

So, you see, it’s not important,

if you wearthen of the green.

Don’t sport the color if your not

Irish, by any means.

Instead, feel the Lords presence,

in each and every way,

but most of all, his name’s not Patty,

it’s Patrick and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
