Orla

In this world of woe your bright light shines through Your gentleness of nature makes all things new Out of the depths that saw your dad's death Hope and joy were rekindled in your vital breath Guardian of the fragile flame that is you Your mum exemplifies love and care true. The sun on high envies the warmth of your smile The rippling brook is your bubbling laughter The busy house sparrow lives in your bustling style The sibilant siskin your soft tongue takes after. We look on in awe in this world of strife As we bless you and thank God for your promising life. Just like the Phoenix,as it were,you arose from the fire Let us hope you create all the good your heart does desire.
