Erin

 Erin go brágh


Erin go brágh, Erin forever

Born in twenty twenty one 

A century lies ahead of you

Ten decades in Shankill. 


Welcomed with love and prayers

As you clasped onto life

And doctors fought to save you

Precious bundle of this special season


When all babies are remembered 

And cherished as we do not take for granted

The miracle of life this Christmas 

And in the years that stretch ahead. 


A tiny fighter in intensive care

Your first toys machines and monitors 

That whirr and turn to help you

To come out strong and thriving. 


It’s Christmas time when magic’s real 

And miracles available

To those who seek them 

Believing in the common good. 


A time for presents by the Christmas tree

In the baby wards of hospitals

Where love is served each day 

With every infant meal.
