1. A Pot of Gold
A pot of gold at the rainbow’s end,
A little leprechaun, a lucky friend.
Chocolate coins, shamrocks galore,
On St. Patrick’s Day, there’s so much more.
2. I’m Wearing Green
I’m wearing green from head to toe,
A shamrock pin, my outfit’s aglow.
I joined the parade with an Irish jig,
A St. Paddy’s Day dancer so sprightly and big.
3. The Leprechaun Tale
In Ireland’s lore, a story persists,
About small leprechauns who love to assist.
If you can catch one – quick as a wink,
He’ll give you gold or a secret link!
4. Green Galore
Green balloons and colorful rainbows,
Emerald sweets and clover shows.
Today we celebrate the Irish way,
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
5. Searching for Shamrocks
Looking for shamrocks beneath the trees,
Searching for luck among the leaves.
The kids are laughing as they play
On this wonderful St. Patrick’s Day.
6. Leprechaun Laugh
Heard a tiny giggle from underneath my bed,
It was a little leprechaun with his hat on his head.
He ran away swiftly before I could spy,
But I’ll find that leprechaun, oh how I will try!
7. St. Patrick’s Mission
St. Patrick, Saint of Ireland well renowned,
Used a shamrock to teach the people all around.
A symbol of unity, the Trinity clear,
Three leaves for the Father, Son, and Spirit so dear.
8. Limerick Laughter
There once was a boy dressed in green,
On St. Patrick’s Day he would preen.
He danced a quick jig,
And ate candy quite big,
This festive boy surely was keen.
9. The Irish Blessing
May the wind be at your back, my dear,
And the sun smile upon you with cheer.
Through St. Patrick’s Day fun,
Our hearts become one,
As we celebrate Irish love without fear.
10. A Little Bit of Magic
St. Patrick’s Day brings magic indeed,
Leprechauns hiding and children freed.
To laugh and to play with all their might,
Till the sun sets on this Irish night.
