A Bitty Toast To Life's Uttermost

 

(the moral of this story: 

St. Patrick's Day is a day for partying Praying!!)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

This bitty cup o’ laughter, love

This bitty drop o’ tear

Is all part of this bitty life

That soon will disappear

This dosey-doe and doo-da-do

This trip and slip and fall

Is but time’s upsy-daisy-o

Toward That Utter All

This bitty have-and-holding, love

This bitty glove of skin

Will soon surrender to the dust

Where On and on begins

This bitty Wisdom we can glean

Is this life’s finest worth

For this is but a bitty green

Here on time’s bitty earth

This bitty cup o’ laughter, love

This bitty drop o’ tear

Is but a bitty leap before

Forevermore, my dear
