Pentecost. By Anne Marie. The apostles were lost, and they huddled in fear Jesus was gone, but yet, he was near. Then all of the sudden, in blew a gust It rose tables and saucers, ashes and dust.
Great tongues of fire appeared from the sky The Holy Spirit had come from Heaven on high. The twelve spoke different tongues, to tell God's story To spread the word and speak of his glory.Top of Page
My Grandad I came home from school to realise he's gone Gone from my life but not from my heart His bed is cold, All I want to know is : Will his bed be warm again and Will his coat be hanging by morning? By Jennifer Top of Page
Ode to the Kildare Football Team To Ronan: on occasion of his visit to our school.
You're our hero, you're our man You have the Leinster, but not the Sam But we don't worry, we don't care You play football with Kildare. To Christy: on occasion of his visit to our school Christy is our goalie, he stands before the net Such a performance, we'll never forget We cheer him today as he comes to our school The Lilies are great the Lilies rule.

St.Patrick's Day There was a boy Patrick, he was out playing one day, Along came pirates and took him away. He landed in Ireland upon a Hilltop By night and by day he minded his flock. Over the years he started to pray He vanished the snakes, and showed the people the way. From Tara to Slane he lit the flame And that is why St.Patrick is the Patron Saint today.

Sandpaper kisses On a cheek or a chin That is the way for the day to begin. Sandpaper kisses A cuddle a purr I've an alarm clock that's covered with fur.

Snowflakes It was Christmas Eve, oh what a sight Snow was falling. I walked up the hills I walked down the road The snow is still everywhere I go. I walked outside With such a fright A blanket of snow everywhere in sight I went back inside Soon afterwards magical feathers Still in my sight.Top of Page
The Day A black cloak covers the land But leaves the stars to shine The moon's dim glow Lets us know The night has just dropped by. ********* The cloak swiftly descends And leaves the world to dry The sun's warm rays Seem to say The morning has arrived. ********* When the morning dies down And night draws near A quiet battle is fought It fills the sky with a rainbow variety; Pinks, purples, reds, blues and yellows Light up the sky. At this time of day, the birds all sing Its evening. By Alicia
