The Hills about our Meadows ~~~ Those hills about your meadows seem to glow with brighter greens When the sunlight strikes the waters of your crystal flowing streams The serpents surfing tidal waves shall ne're return from lore Since the shamrock troth the Trinity upon your blessed shore Fair the sunshine waves to celebrate rejoyce St. Patrick's hand Know the hills about our meadows glow with gleams of Ireland ~~~ |

Thanks serenity ... I really am feeling much better these days ... I guess time patches most wounds I'll look for your limerick ... I know it'll be special ... maybe green pizza, on the beach with Janet  |

Ahhh, the wearin' o' the green! Good piece. Ireland must be a wonderful sight to see, especially during the moments of peace. |

I want to go to Ireland one day.. I hear it's one of the most beautiful places on this Earth... this poem does good justice to that! Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for. |

VAS ... I've never been there ... my grandfather came from Ireland and my wife's great grandparents were from Ireland. We have many friends and relatives, who've been to visit her sights and a nephew who lives there now. We too would love to vacation there someday Thankyou Paula ... It would sure be nice if we could Thankyou Insect ... glad you liked it EagleScorpion ... From the pictures I've seen and the people I've talked with ... if you go, you won't be disappointed, and if you can, be sure to visit England, Scotand,and Wales as well ... lots of history and lots of good people Lady In White ... thankyou, you're very kind Kathleen ... I take it you'll be wearing the green then Poeminister ... thankyou ... Cheers |

Dear Rex: I enjoyed reading your poem so much. Although I'm only half Irish, I have always felt a mystical tie to that green land. I grew up in Canada, in Alberta. Betty Lou Hebert |
