In a special land not far away
a tiny town of Leprechaun's play.
The air is pure, the birds all sing.
There is happiness in everything.
The glitter dust has a magic shine.
There are no clocks, there is no time.
The four leaf clovers sparkle bright.
The sun shines always, there is no night.
The rainbow tells them God is near.
He has blessed the little people, here.
This land has gold and jewels galore.
They know that love is worth much more.
They take their powers to spread their cheer,
they leave their land and visit near.
They give a wish to a special few.
Once each year, could that be you?
They pick a child with a special heart,
one who cares and does their part.
They never hurt, but always play
tricks and jokes are just their way.
So if you catch one, let it free,
take your wish and let it be,
SO NEXT YEAR IT CAN VISIT ME!
Written for my darling girl when she was in grade school on St. Patrick's Day. She is now 21 years old :o)
