The Emerald Isle

I set sail
For a distant land
I guided the boat
With my hand

I landed in
The Emerald Isle
I walked
For a mile

I came across
A huge rainbow
It reminded me of
The love God did bestow

I saw a Celtic cross
It was carved from stone
The light of Christ
Had shone

I spied a wee leprechaun
It had a pot of gold
He was
Very old

I walked barefoot
In the lush green grass
I dreamt of
A beautiful Irish lass

I sailed back home
I had many happy memories
Of Ireland
It was the stuff of fantasies
