( 8x10 Print _ 0208 )

Deep peace

Deep peace

Deep peace
of the shining star to you.

AN IRISH CELEBRATION

* this print fits in an 8x10 shamrock mat

The Kerrigans and Harrigans are making Mulligan stew
The Kellys and O'Malleys dance the Irish jig for you!
For great corned beef and cabbage there are always the O'Brians
Who team up in the kitchen with the help of all the Ryans
The Kelseys and O'Learys now are boiling up some cheer.
With the famous Irish coffee that has been tradition here.
The Flannigans and Lannigans always find ways to quench their thirst
While waiting for the leprechans to bet who sees them first!
A Sullivan is singing harmony with an O'Brady
While trying to find the Blarney Stone's a job for an O'Grady.
For a celebration with a group
That's sure to please…
Don't forget the Rileys, the Morans
And the
McGees!

AN IRISH FAREWELL ( S )

*This is a Sympathy Poem

Dry your tears of sorrow for I am not far away
I'll be waiting 'til you're called to join me one fine day.
May you feel my presence through the memories we hold dear
May God hold you in His palm and keep you ever near
Hold on to these precious times, be thankful for our love
And don't forget . . .
That Irish Eyes shine on you
from above.

AN IRISH FAREWELL ( II )

( 8x10 Print _ 0320 ( shamrock ) )
*This is a Farewell Poem . . . appropriate for when
someone moves or retires.


May new roads rise to greet you, As the wind is on your back
May the Angels guard you and not one thing may you lack

May you have good fortune . . .
May your troubles all be few
And each day may you feel Gods blessings
shining
down on
you.

AN IRISHMAN'S PHILOSOPHY
( 5x7 Print - 05401 )
( 8x10 Print _ 0347 )

There are only two things to worry about
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well . . .
Then there is nothing to worry about.
But if you are sick . . .
There are two things to worry about.
Either you will die or you will get well.
If you get well there is nothing to worry about.
If you die . . .
There are only two things to worry about.
Either you will go to heaven or you will go to hell.
If you go to heaven . . . there is nothing to worry about.
But if you go to hell . . .
You'll be so damned busy shaking hands with friends
You won't have time to worry!

May God be with you and bless you.
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings
May you know nothing but happiness
from this day forward.

AN IRISH TOAST
( 5x7 Print - 05392 )
( 8x10 Print _ 0341 )

May those who love us, love us;
And those who don't love us
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts . . .
then may He turn their ankles
so that we may know them
by their
limping.

BEING IRISH

( 8x10 Print _ 0327 )

Being Irish
He had an abiding
Sense of
TRAGEDY
Which sutained him
Through temporary
Periods of
JOY!

of His hand.

IRISH FATHER

God made a special person with
a twinkle in his eye.

My special gift
From
God.

There is one and only one whose heart
will fail you never;

There is one and only one on earth,
there is no other.
In Heaven
a noble work was done
when God gave us
a
Mother.

For every storm, a rainbow
For every tear, a smile

A sweet song

Angels
All too few
And Heaven's
Overflowing.

THE IRISH
( 8x10 Print _ 0274 )

What shall I say about the Irish ?
The utterly impractical . . . never predictable
Something irascible, quite inexplicable, Irish.

Strange blend of shyness, pride and conceit,
And stubborn refusal to bow in defeat.

He's spoiling and ready to argue and fight
Yet the smile of a child fills his soul with delight.

His eyes are the quickest to well up in tears
Yet his strength is so strong that he'll banish your fears.

His faith is as fierce as his devotion is grand
And there's no middle ground on which he will stand

He's wild and he's gentle . . . he's good and he's bad
He's proud and he's humble . . . he's happy . . . he's sad.

He's in love with the ocean . . . the earth and the skies
He's enamored with beauty . . . wherever it lies.

He's victor and victim . . . a star and a clod . . .
But mostly he's
IRISH
And
in love with his God.

THE IRISH WEDDING SONG
( 8x10 Print _ 0183 H Heart )

There they stand © hand in hand © they've exchanged wedding bands
Today is the day © they sing all their plans.
And all we who love them © just wanted to say.
May God bless this couple who marry today
In good times © and bad times © In sickness and health
May they know that riches aren't needed for wealth
Help them face problems they'll meet
On their way
O, God, bless this couple
Who marry
Today.

THE MAGIC OF IRELAND
Written by : Jill Fantinã
( 8x10 Print _ J2075 )

The shamrock fill the meadows with a caprtet full of green
Happiness abounds and teardrops there are seldom seen.
Every Irish heart is light © and it's been always known . . . to

Make your dreams reality . . . just kiss the Blarney Stone. ©
A sun-kissed earth awaits the joy received from just one smile ©
Gazing at the beauty © from the lovely emerald isle.
In every child's wonderment and curiosity . . .
Can Leprechauns be lurking all about so mischievously ?

On unexpected visits . . . are they really friend or foe ?
For only a true Irish heart can ever really know.

In an emerald majesty from sparkling sea to grass ©
Romance is surely in the air for every lad and lass.
Every kitchen's warm with love and scents of Mulligan's Stew
Laughs are heard from lads and lassies preparing it for you.
And corned beef and cabbage have been cooked in long tradition©
Nice to hear those melodies sung in sweet Irish rendition.
Down the shaded pathways as you take an evening stroll . . .
May the luck of Ireland ©
lighten your heart and soul.
