An Irish Rainbow of Blessings

Red is for love of those we hold dear,

our kith and kin, both far and near.

Orange is for Irish wit and mirth - and the cleverish jokes o'er all the earth.

Yellow is for joy in simple pleasures,

the heart's delights, the spirit's treasures.

Green stands for Erin, the shamrock land,

its customes and hertage, glorious and grand.

Blue is for loyalty to family and friends,

and to the Lord, whose love never ends.

Violet's for heroes throughout history,

the noble patriots of our ancestry.
