Next day the queen's child I'll take;
How glad I am that nobody knows

May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
🍀 Irish proverb 🍀 #HappyStPatricksDay
In the Bluebell meadow there’s a Fairy ring,
Where in silver moonlight the Little People sing.
They dance around toadstools & chase Leprechauns,
But they must all be gone before daylight dawns.
