🇺🇸🇮🇪 President Kennedy visited Ireland in June, 1963
& referred to it as “the best four days of his life.”

He recited this poem in his last speech of the visit:

“'Tis the Shannon's brightly glancing stream,
brightly gleaming,
silent in the morning beam.”

“Rest in peace Mr. President (JFK),
through your wisdom and strength,
since your tragic death,
Patriots have planned, installed,
and by the grace of God, activated,
the beam of LIGHT.” 💫

BE THOU MY VISION. A Celtic, Hymn that Honors and Celebrates the Spirit of the Universal Christ that Lives in Everyone

"Be Thou my Vision, Oh Lord of my Heart
Naught Be All Else to Me, Save that Thou Art
Thou my Best Thought, by Day or by Night.
Waking or Sleeping, Thy Presence My Light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my True Word
I Ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my Great Father and I Thy True Son
Thou in Me Dwelling and I With Thee One."

So beautiful, Craig. Ty ❤️‍🔥

My grandfather came from County Cork
which is probably why I always MUST
live by the sea ☘️🌊🌈

THE SKYE BOAT SONG, Ella Roberts

OVER THE SEA TO SKYE

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Loud the wind howls
Loud the waves roar

Thunderclaps rend the air
Baffled our foes
Stand by the shore
Follow they will not dare

"Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore did wield
When the night came
Silently lain
Dead on Colloden field

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Though the waves heave
Soft will ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep
Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye"

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
