Six years in bondage
helped Patrick find God.
Voices led him home,
and a vision brought him back
with Ireland's salvation.
A tanka for St. Patrick's Day.  His life story--from being captured by Irish pirates, enslaved as a shepherd, escaping, and eventually returning to spread the Gospel--is extraordinary.  It's a shame the day is only really remembered as an excuse to get drunk.
