When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away
.

My Mom loved St. Patrick's Day.......She was 100% Irish and proud of it!

Oh, how I miss your smiling Irish eyes, Mom.

Oh Nanc - I lost my Mom on April 20th - the void never gets filled and all we can do is look forward to the reunion we will have one day!
You are a joy to my heart and I have something for you on my blog.
