Irish Smile

Irish Smile

lopsided Irish Smile
that belonged to a good friend
dedicated brother
a loved son

you were a sun
which we now long for
search for behind the clouds
where you hid yourself

crooked Irish smile
loved too much
that you couldn't see it
so you closed your eyes

open them and see your friends
remember the late night talks
partying with the boys, bonding at the bar
and laughing with life

perfect Irish smile
of a man missed
of a soul grieved for
and a heart never forgotten

the best parts we'll never overlook
there's a place in our lives you took
with your Irish smile

As sure as the shamrocks are growing in the land which the Irish all love, as sure as the lakes of Killarney reflect the blue heavens above - as sure as the warmhearted Irish all pay honor to Saint Patrick too, I’m wishing you “top o’the morning” and happiness, always, for you.
