Irish (Limerick)

How far I have come from dear Ireland,
                                                 from Erin to the "Land of the Free."
                                                        My heart, left on that shore,
                                                              I shall visit no more,
                                                and my image they shall never see...

No, I've never been to Ireland, but my granddad on my Mom's side was pure Irish (2nd generation). I have a deep feeling for the Irish, and their land! This poem actually was an assignment in a class I took----to write a limerick on any subject.
