Ireland home of Worship

Prayers are rendered with heavenly Heather...

High on a Hill of laughter and love... 

We viewed a Cathedral by the Sea 

on St. Patricks Day... where Hummingbirds play... 

a musical Harp with sweetest sounds of lovely 

romantic Irish lullabies where clouds hold 

promises of plenty and more to come... 

Our hearts rejoice and join the chorus

reading lifts me old Irish heart, Pat! sometimes simply stated creates large pictures and emotions .. Ireland calls home for so many of the Irish diaspora ... me being one of them ... three generations removed ... its going to be very strange without the parades ... but health is important ... no use taking chances .. me oldest daughter called and reminded me to buy some Guinness Dark and a bottle of Jamison ... i think i will do just that and she and I can drink a toast by phone and picture ;) top o' the mahrnin' to ya lass!
E.
you made me Irish heart a'smilin' :)))))))))))

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest E... may the saddest day of your future be
no worse than the happiest day of your past... an Irish quote worth thinking about. Blessings and rainbows... a leprechaun in waiting, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) your the greatest Pat!

[Gee]

Now then let me tell ya this. I worked with the Irish navvies late 70's early 80's and paddy's day meant only one thing for sure, and that was they'd all disappear early and then not reappear until a week or so later, still in the same clothes, still stinking of Guinness and battle scarred. We would then be regaled with tall tales of what had and might have happened. The craic was great, some of my best working memories :))

[Einstein Noodle]

i think i envy those experiences my friend! thanks for sharing them :)

[Gee]

They adopted me as an honorary after I survived having a dumper truck run over the top of me.
And I started it up !!

[Einstein Noodle]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???

[Gee]

Funny now, but it ran up my right leg, across my chest then slid off my right cheek. Had no breakage as I was a big galoot back then but had 18 months physio, my pelvis is pushed out of line and my left hand gives me grief where it was damaged by me trying to push the tyre away from my head :)) Not something to be recommended

[Einstein Noodle]

holy Toledo Patricia ... what a thing to survive!!! amazing the damage was not worse, as bad as it was :((( i am signing off now for a bit ... me dog is begging his walkie! ;) top o' the mahrnin' to ya lass! ... big hug and Irish laughter!!

[Patricia Wedel]

Hi Gene... never took the time to say... you meant to say, "holy Toledo Gee" (the author of 'having a dumper truck run over me' comment block). I still have me bones "ache" when it rains, after reading your comment mentioning my name Patricia instead of Gee. ha ha ... baby elephants never forget. gently, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

yes...i did :} ... sorry about that Gee! ;) thank you Pat!

[Coyote Poetry]

Beautiful dear Pat. A long time ago I visit Ireland. I wish I had more time. Nicest people I have ever met. Could drink. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear John... love the Irish music and their Spirit. Thanks for reading. The top of the morning to you whenever it arrives. gently, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello dear Pat and you are welcome my friend.

[Abhishek Asthana]

Poem of this kind brings a soothing aura altogether... another refreshing piece... nicely penned... Thanks for sharing !!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Abhishek... I am humbled by your review. I am fascinated by the history of the Irish. I have always felt empathy for other culture around the World. Now we are sharing a terrible Virus and mourning the loss of so many. We need to write refreshing poetry to soothe our feelings. Be blessed and stay well.
truly, Pat

So very lovely, I love hummingbirds. This is wonderful

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Kimmie... hummingbirds are so energetic ... and leprechauns always join in whenever we play Irish songs and dance the River Dance. Thanks for stopping by. Gently, Pat

[Pete]

so beautiful and touching. i'll sing to that. i'm not irish but this makes me wish I was. thanks for taking me atop that hill of hope … :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Pete... I am a bit late to thank you for your ever so charming review of my poem for St. Patricks Day.
I love their music and how they have survived and had their misfortunes through the years. Yes, if only we could see the "Ray of Hope" atop the Hill. Be well and safe. with gratitude and Grace, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

This reminds me of Jerusalem by a rock group I follow called ELP. I love their version which you depict here Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... sorry to be so late to thank you for a very special review. I read about the Rock Group Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP) and the lyrics of
Jerusalem... The Lyrics are even meaningful today, as we witness a Virus lead many of us on a path to death before our time. In my silver/golden years, I am taking time to linger in the history of mankind. Why am I spared thus far... perhaps to learn the way to Jerusalem and greener pastures. Amen... be blessed dear friend. truly, Pat

[Relic]

There's nothing like the site of a majestic Cathedral. The history there is amazing.

ice poem, Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Tim... there are times when a song can give you the feeling of being in a majestic Cathedral. I feel that Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is one of those songs. I saw on U-tube where a young couple exchanged Vows and Rings while an Orchestra played "Hallelujah"... it was beautiful. Thank you for reading. truly, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

what is it in our Irish hearts that make us resonate so with the Trad folk music? I have many friends that aren't Irish and they all look at me with disdain when I play one unless its of course saint Patricks day LOL

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Robert... I love the song "Lady in Red" a song by British - Irish singer songwriter Chris de Burgh. It was released in June 1986 as the second single from the album into the Light. For women, this song makes us feel beautiful. Uplifting music can be very therapeutic and performers like Celtic Thunder give us a sense of well-being. Folk music is for folks all over the World. Thank you Robert for your review.
truly, Pat

[Dara]

A wonderful poetic relief to the madness surrounding us. Even in our darkest hour, remembering St. Patrick's Day and the rich Irish heritage and culture would put a smile on even the grumpiest face. I am not Irish but perhaps I wanna be :-) Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem!

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Dara... thank you for sharing the lore of Ireland ... it is encouraging to know that others care and want us to survive this Corona Virus that has caused the entire world to hope and pray it will subside quickly. Blessings to you and yours. Truly, Pat

[R.E. Ray]

I always find warmth and peace in your poetry. This is no exception. I find magic in your words here. They transport us to that place.

I have Irish blood, and I've been exploring more of Ireland, especially its poets like Seamus Heaney. I truly enjoyed this one, Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear R.E. I appreciate your introducing m to Seamus Heaney. I especially like his poem, "Gift of Rain".
Love the Irish music and poetry. gently, Pat

[R.E. Ray]

Good to read, Pat. His poems Follower and Mid-Term Break are among my favorites. Happy reading!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A most simple and elegant piece that guides the reader rather than preaching, well done, good read.

[Patricia Wedel]

Thomas dear... your warm toasty review is worth a pot of gold at the end of the 🌈 Rainbow where Leprechauns 🍀 linger for prayer 🙏 prayer. gently, Pat
