Up on the Hill

Up on the hill, people go and stare

At the heavenly vista, on a day so fair

Surrounded by blue

Of light and dark hue

Smile with eyes, it’s beyond compare

Seapoint – View to a Thrill

Seapoint is pretty, you can easily see why

It’s fabulous view, of bay and blue sky

A great place to swim

Maybe surf on a whim

Or walking with friends, it’s always a joy

Seapoint, and Dublin Bay beyond
