Spring Has Come Again

“When the Sun’s face shows,
And there are no snows,
And the atmosphere’s clean,
And very serene,
With temperatures warmed,
To an occasional storm,
And a great transformation,
Is again in preparation,
Then Nature’s happy ring,
Welcomes in the noble spring,
And within her glory throngs,
Birds are singing budding songs.” JM

Saint Patrick’s Day & Christianity

Saying has it that,
"Saint Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland,
As serpent symbols were early worshipped by pagans,
So, upon encountering the Druids at Tara,
It gave chance for Patrick’s true conversion hour,
And the Baptism of Druids there in "Holy Wells"
Gave way to March seventeen as the day to retell
All-world of a cherished and hallowed sanctity,
Introduced to Ireland as Christianity." JM
