About Ancient Ghosts and Green Heart Songs

Ancient Ghosts and Green Heart Songs is a personal anthology of poems, songs, hymns, and music begun around 1995 as a kind of journal. The theme is very simple--celebration of my family, my grandparents and parents, my brothers, my husband and daughter, and an expression of gratitude to God for them, and for my Christian Faith and Irish heritage. Some are deeply sad while others are joyful. Some are prayers and others laments, or even protest against abuse. They are all born of love, of pain, of grief, and of profound Faith. The anthology will be complete when I return home...

Celtic Grace



"CELTIC GRACE"

We thank you Lord with all our hearts
For this meal set before us which Your Love imparts
For Your Love which touches us in every way
through family and friends far or near this day.

O Lord keep us mindful of those in need
that we not succumb to sinful greed
And when we have shared in this meal that You bless
Bid us go forth and share our gifts with those who have less.
