What March BringsA Story by Kathryn SmithSun grows stronger Days get longer Snow melts Grass peaks Windows open Clovers bloom I countdown in my bedroom Cookbook read Oven on Father in the kitchen Flour on the floor The warm smell of soda bread Fills the house in the morn We rush and clean Vacuum and dust Get the house ready Guests arrive at dusk Far off in Galway Eyes begin to twinkle He grabs his fiddle His 6 string His banjo Hop on a bus Their jet takes off White streaks the sky We Banjo 3 Visits our town tonight Music booms
Irish bloodline proud Stomping feet Clapping hands He shook me around We play Jig Jam Dervish Kilkennys The Script Can't forget Davey or Mick The men who made my heartbeat skip Head held high Eyes dart to the sky Sun dips low Here we go Jameson and Guinness Flavor and kisses This is better than Christmas Better than birthdays It's time for a party It's time for a bash Put your shoes on Your paint on Your luck on You won't need any cash Green White Orange Come knock at our door And we'll dance all night Creating a firelight Slainte to you
We raise our glasses high March brings Paddy's Day And on Paddy's Day Our spirit will never die
