The Six Nations rugby is underway,
Six matches so far
But at the sixth match
Something happened,
It brought goosebumps to me
And almost brought tears to my eyes.
Such an emotive moment,
All it was, was a song,
It was the Irish Anthem
Sung before the match started.
The anthems are always sung
Before the matches,
But this one was different
As the person who led the singing
Was an eight year old boy.
Almost everyone was moved,
Moved by the sound,
The sound of this boys voice
As he sang the anthem with passion.
A passion that brough those tears,
Those tears to my eyes,
And to many more eyes.
Such a wonderful voice,
A voice that will go far in song
So that name will be with me
As I look into the future,
The future of Stevie Mulrooney.
