There’s this Irish nostalgia,

our families gathered together,

sweet mingling, favorite menus,

familiar memories remind us,

sharing something we all 

did inherit one day long ago.

Today, our families have evolved,

blessed with love, elegant lives.

We do share a wonder together,

this bond of magic in our heart.

Gentle souls who smile

whistling the songs of Ireland.

There was a day a

few years back when we all

together as would we be,

with glistening eyes we smiled,

as  a chorus of Danny Boy

celebrated our matriarch. 

She did give us peace to settle

a sadness in our silent loss..

For now we know we

do cherish the lives

we share together,

as we know our Irish 

verse let’s our laughter

and that love we all

know measure our days.
