Every St. Patrick’s Day
My Irish Grandma
Dresses up in her lucky green
And proudly celebrates
Her Irish heritage
And the ancestors before her
She encourages me and my brother to do the same
As her mother encouraged her
Every holiday gathering
My Italian Grandma
Makes her pasta with meat and cookies
And proudly celebrates
Her Italian heritage
And the ancestors before her
She encourages me and my brother to do the same
As her parents motivated her
Our families are mosaics of their past
That shape the minds of our new generations
Encouraging us to be proud
Of where we came from
