Jean Murray Poet Rhyme

In Australia

Irish love
I send you.
Wrap it all around.
You have six here
who care for you.
And two who are
underground.

Irish angles
watch over you.
One on either side.
Mum and Dad,
no longer bickering.
They now must
be your guide.

Irish luck 
be with you.
Buy a lotto
ticket tonight.
I bet you 
by the morning.
You'll book that
first class flight.

Irish rain
to bathe you.
Just a little sprinkle.
Step outside and
let it's softness,
touch your face
and make you tingle.

Irish faith
you have already.
To keep your
spirit strong.
Connecting at Mass
each Sunday
with loved ones,
passed on.

Irish humour
to sustain you.
Ring me if
you're feeling low.
If you are
a wee bit sad,
I'll tell a joke.
Put on a show.

Irish eyes
are smiling,
when they hear
your voice.
I miss you and
I love you.
BUT
we both know
you have no choice.

Jean Murray November 10, 2015 at 5:55 AM Morning Sean. I have been to hell, but big sister Teresa stopped me from ending it all. She rang me every single day from Australia until I pulled through. Gosh, I have tears in my eyes. It's not recent. I am back to myself with a vengeance.
