I prefer to think of today as the actual holiday it is. Happy Constitution Day. Maybe in March, you'll celebrate being half way to this date... while many people wish it never happened or was remembered.
Start your own thread to celebrate that .. I can celebrate both .. actually I am also remembering my Dad who passed away 7 years ago -- and he loved Saint Patrick's Day even though we were Scotch-Irish For my Dad: The Old Man ( A traditional Celtic folk song)The tears have all been shed now Weve said our last goodbyes His souls been blessed Hes laid to rest Andits now I feel alone He was moer than just a father A teacher my best friend He can still be heard In the tunes we shared When we play them on our own (chorus) I never will forget him For he made me what I am Though he may be gone Memories linger on And I miss him, the old man As a boy hed take me walking By mountain field and stream And he showed me things Not known to kings And secret between him and me Like the colours of the pheasant As he rises in the dawn And how to fish and make a wish Beside the holly tree I thought hed live forever He seemed so big and strong But the minutes fly And the years roll by For a father and a son And suddenly when it happened There was so much left unsaid No second chance To tell him thanks For everything hes done |
