Bambi would like to highlight this day in different ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, she will thank her friend Jeff for sharing a picture of Mr. Gibran Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet<\/em>… in Irish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, she also would like to thank him for making her discover a beautiful short poem by Mr. Sheridan John Desmond (1903\u201380), Irish author of many books including “Joe’s no Saint and Other Poems”<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No tears
Should ever come
To your dear eyes.
They should always be full
Of happiness, and laughter, and surprise

Tears are for tired eyes like mine –
That the world has made sad <\/strong>
Nothing can touch my heart
Or wake my fears
So surely as
Your tears”.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, she will pause to recall lovely memories of celebrations of Saint Patrick Day in three different Canadian provinces as well as during a trip to Beirut in which her cousin Rana took her out once at a nice Irish pub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, it is time for music now. First, the much talented Seo Linn singing a unique version of the traditional Irish song “\u00d3r\u00f3 S\u00e9 do Bheatha Bhaile<\/em>“. Second, the Saint Patrick’s Day <\/em>kids’ song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day ?! Bambi is thinking of all her friends (and kids’ friends :), especially of the Patrick, Patrice, and Patricia of this world! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
