Happy Birthday, MKFB
Employing the Irish poetic format 'Dechnad Cummaisc' is 'thar a bheith deacair,' but some people are worth it. 💙💛
Distant spans marked not by miles
Only through time
With fond memories from afar
And hearts sublimed.
What value does this friendship hold?
Intrinsic, true
Unfeigned counsel upon request:
Stalwart deft clues.
An unassailable spirit
Kathleen thunders
As Irish wildflowers bloom
And flumes wander.
—
Réise i bhfad i gcéin marcáilte gan mÃle
Trà am ina n-aonar
Le cuimhnà milis ó chian
Agus croÃthe ‘sublimed.’
Cad é luach an chairdis seo?
Intreach, fÃor
Abhcóide macánta arna iarraidh sin:
Leideanna deft ‘stalwart’ ar.
Spiorad gan staonadh
Kathleen toirneach
De réir mar a bhláthaÃonn bláthanna fiáine na hÉireann
Agus flumes ‘wander.’
