Step lightly, <br />For the ground is tender, <br />Soft with moisture <br />From the dew. <br /> <br />Listen gently, <br />For the air is bemusing <br />With the lilting songs <br />Of new-born baby birds. <br /> <br />Feel carefully, <br />For your arms will respond <br />To the gentle carress <br />Of the springtime breeze. <br /> <br />Touch so very gently, <br />For the newborn blooms <br />Are fragile yet, <br />Only just having been born. <br /> <br />Walk with the lightest step, <br />Listen for the most gentle sounds, <br />Touch with a delicate hand, <br />For Ireland is a soft flower. <br /> <br />Scarlett Treat <br />March 17,2008 <br /> <br />Written for My Irish Friend....Happy Saint Patrick's Day, you crazy Irishman!<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/step-lightly-in-ireland/
