The Story   
of       
St. Patrick

 
             Long ago, St. Patrick
   taught the Irish about God
          By showing them a shamrock
           he picked from Erin's sod.
          He used the shamrock's leaves
           to symbolize the Three in One-
         The Holy Ghost, the Father
           and His beloved Son.
           St. Patrick changed the hearts
           and lives of all the Irish race,
            And through the years,
            in all our hearts,
          he holds a special place.

              May the shamrocks
           be their greenest
          And the sky its softest blue,
         and may God bless
        St. Patrick's Day
       Especially for you.
