St. Patrick’s Day Dinner
My Grandpa was Irish
Or at least his parents were
So every year we went to
Grandma and Grandpa’s house
for corned beef and cabbage.
At the end of dinner
Grandpa would always sing
“All Hail to St. Patrick”
And it teared him up every time.
His less-than-fully Irish grandchildren
thought it was silly
But what I wouldn’t give now
To hear him sing it again.
I’d probably tear up
right along with him.
