Celtic Rose
By: Noah Eaton
3/17/01

Dancing on the emerald hillsides
Under the rainbow smiling from a pot of gold
Singing in the Gaelic rain with the leprechauns
Celebrating my Irish blood, green to the soul

To my heart, I wear the Celtic rose
The spring weaver, with three lush leaves
Each leaf holding dear meaning, spirits brought together in unity
The three values that be, mingled together to Trinity



The first leaf represents the Father, life’s giver
Spirits of my ancestors together to guide me with the light
Shaping me as who I am, carrying on the old soul of love
As I walk outside, I can hear their knowledge whispering in the winds, and protecting me at night

Next is the leaf representing I, the son
Who hast share all the love I must give
Fill my future generations with His insight, as I slowly become the Father
Revealing the power of my soul to Him



Finally, the Celtic Rose holds the presence of the Holy Spirit
His love alone rests inside me, as with every other one of His people
To Him I pray for Thy's teachings
Feeling the spring breeze draw forth, God’s life-giving breath for the faithful and the peaceful



Find yourself a shamrock, the Celtic rose, for there is plenty to go around
To you I share the light of Trinity, which all of us has happily sought
God Bless you on this St. Patrick’s Day
Erin Go Braugh!

Noah, thanks, this is special. A Celtic Rose, I did not know it was called that, nor the meaning. Beautifully done.

Noah this is wonderful...thank you!
May your blessings outnumber the Shamrocks that grow,
And may troubles avoid you wherever you go.

Thank you for sharing that story Noah. What a lovely meaning.
