Pop's Poetry

Sixty-Five

"With All My Love", I always say
But clearly that's not true
For our love grows with every day
And it's all because of you

With every year that passes by
A more beautiful woman I see
And even though you're sixty-five
You're still nineteen to me

Happy Birthday Catherine
With All My Love (so far)

When eternity dies

We must seek out wisdom

Present justice is elevated

Legacy becomes paramount

When eternity dies

Peace can be conceived

Hope will be in the present

Faith grows from knowledge

Love is formed from inside out

When eternity dies

Today is reborn

One day, when the sun shines again

and I finally feel the warmth it brings

I’ll feel like singing

but not just any song, it must be perfect

one that keeps the sun out of the clouds

I may never sing

“Kiss me, I’m Irish, it’s lucky you know”,

Is not something I’d normally say.

Though it is funny and almost all true,

My Grandma Gaghagen would not approve,

Except on Saint Patrick’s Day.

So kiss me, I’m Irish and lucky to be,

We can wish all our problems away.

Let’s open Kilbeggan and lift up our glasses,

We’ll toast all the Irish ‘til we fall on our arses.

Sláinte! It’s Saint Patrick’s Day!
