'Twas the night before Ireland, and all through the house
Every creature was stirring as I pack my jeans and blouse
The suitcase was full with extra clothing and care
In the hopes that my first plane ride soon would be there
My sister is nestled all snug in her bed
While my dad has worst case scenarios running through his head
And mama in her nightgown and I in my pj's
Had just settled our brains from his anxious ways
When out in my mind their arose such a clatter
I searched through my thoughts to see what was the matter
Away to the depths I flew like a flash
Tore open my conscious to find what causes this clash
I think of my friends all studying at school
As I've sat around playing XBox, eating, and acting the fool
I'll miss them so much as I explore the world
Who would've known this fate awaited a shy, quiet girl?
Worry not, though, for I keep you all close
Because you all have helped me conquer my fears the most
Enjoy you time at Augie while I am gone
And I will think of you all as I wake up at dawn
Wish me good luck on this great big adventure
As out onto Irish soil I venture
Send me a prayer as I fly out of sight
Slainte to all, and have a good night!
