Christmas In Cork : Friendship Poetry

It was Christmas night in Cork and snow turned into sleet .
A crowd all walked together along Great Patrick Street  .
Full of the Christmas spirit as friendly as could be ,

Young people arm in arm it was beautiful to see  .
People poured out from pubs as it was closing too .

Everyone that you met said Happy Christmas to you .
We gathered round Mac Curtain Street  , sang a song or two
The white Christmas that we dreamt of was happening too .

What a great feeling it was to be there in the crowd .

It was Christmas time in Cork and it made me feel proud   .

The Irish are a people who have found something rare ,

It's love and understanding for a place that they share .

A warm atmosphere fell down all over Cork City .

Snow covered streets and rooftops made everything pretty .
Making their way back to their homes to get their heads down .

Christmas was almost over and Cork had been unwound .
