The Dream Of The Irish.



Through invasions and what was
Not a famine we have come- a
People of varied history
And culture to the bone.

Our roots are mainly Celtic
Although sharing with others
The shamrock isle of Ireland
As sisters and as brothers.

We do not claim to be superior to
Any race and within our spirit
It is our hope that love will
Unite our kind.

So, come, fellow humans and
Let us join together and make
Creation what it was meant to be
A field of loving endeavour.
