When the mercury falls below freezing and the icy winds blow, I think of the homeless, and a poem I learned at school, called The Old Woman Of The Roads.

This weeks top Irish poem is number 11, "An Old Woman of the Roads" by Padraic Colum. A lot of people refer to this poem as a simple poem. But you could argue that simplicity

May The Sun Shine Warm Upon Your Face; The Rains Fall Soft Upon Your Fields, And Until We Meet Again, May God Hold You In The Palm Of His Hand. Traditional Gaelic Blessing Wooden Sign 9"W x 18"H Solid Wood with Keyhole groove on back for hanging. Soft Sage Green with Cream Lettering Proudly Made in America

St. Francis Prayer print designed by Sherrie Lovler with a serene border with lovely lettering to make a perfect setting for these wonderful words. Great gift. Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. The care Sherrie takes in creating the artwork is matched with the care she takes in presenting it to you. All acid-free mats and backing board are used. The matted prints come packaged in a plastic slip. Makes a perfect gift.

Gratitude can perform miracles in your life. Use these gratitude quotes to help you bring more gratitude and thankfulness into your life.

After A While was written by Veronica A. Shoffstall and is now in beautiful calligraphy by Sherrie Lovler. This print is makes a lovely gift, ready to frame. The original poem was first published in Veronica's college yearbook in 1971. Her beautiful imagery leads one from disillusionment and heartbreak to a place of inner strength. After A While by Veronica A. Shoffstall After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and that you really do have worth And you learn and you learn with every goodbye you learn... The care Sherrie takes in creating the artwork is matched with the care she takes in presenting it to you. All acid-free mats and backing board are used. The matted prints come packaged in a plastic slip. Makes a perfect gift.

Cliffs of Moher Travel Guide. Tips for visiting Ireland's famous attraction!

Highlights Kim (Kimball O'Hara) is the orphaned son of an Irish soldier and a poor Irish mother who have both died in poverty. Author(s): Rudyard Kipling 172 Pages Fiction + Literature Genres, Action & Adventure Description Book Synopsis Kim (Kimball O'Hara) is the orphaned son of an Irish soldier and a poor Irish mother who have both died in poverty. Living a vagabond existence in India under British rule in the late 19th century, Kim earns his living by begging and running small errands on the streets of Lahore. He occasionally works for Mahbub Ali, a Pashtun horse trader who is one of the native operatives of the British secret service. Kim is so immersed in the local culture, few realise he is a white child, though he carries a packet of documents from his father entrusted to him by an Indian woman who cared for him. The story unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game, the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881, but before the Third, probably in the period 1893 to 1898. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people, culture, and varied religions of India. "The book presents a vivid picture of India, its teeming populations, religions, and superstitions, and the life of the bazaars and the road." Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children. He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature; and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift".
