"Shamrock"

on my neck lies a gold clover,

though its close to my heart, it feels much closer,

it gives me pride, it gives me relief,

and each time i hold it, i always feel safe,

each time i hold it, i always feel the same,

security, pride, and yet i hold my head low,

for inside it holds, the key to my soul,

no one can see what lies behind the clover but me,

a power so great, that only i can see,

i'm all irish inside and proud to be,

and that's when i realize, it means the world to me,

each time i hold it, i close my eyes and hang my head down,

but as long as its near me, i can never frown,

i feel naked without it, and i cannot explain the feeling i have with it,

all i know, is the shamrock has a power over me inside it.
