It’s easy to be pleasant when life

Leprechaun — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 15:41:23 +0000

Its easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song.
But the man worth while is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.

For the test of the heart is trouble
And it always comes with years.
And the smile that is worth the praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through the tears.

We cannot share this sorrow

We cannot share this sorrow
If we haven’t grieved a while.
Nor can we feel another’s joy
Until we’ve learned to smile.

Here’s to a fellow who smiles
When life runs along like a song.
And here’s to the lad who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.

There’s a dear little plant that grows in our isle

There’s a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
‘Twas St. Patrick himself, sure, that sets it;
And the sun of his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the mireland,
And they call it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland.

When Irish eyes are smiling

Leprechaun — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 05:51:52 +0000

When Irish eyes are smiling,
Tis like a morn in spring.
With a lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world is bright and gay
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away.

May your heart be light and happy

May your heart be light and happy,
May your smile be big and wide,
And may your pockets always have
a coin or two inside!

Trouble hates nothing as much as a smile
