Eileen

In a charming little house in the middle of the street, 
I know a lady that you would like to meet.
At first glance she seems a bit shy,
 but she has a wonderful twinkle in her eye.
A family she is blessed with daughters and a son, 
her grandchildren keep her always on the run.
She's had her share of sorrow and bad times too, 
but she carries on what else can she do?
I hope one day you will meet her Eileen is her name, 
for it you do my friend you will feel the same.
