Ode To Ellie Brown

Goodbye to the leprechauns goodbye clover carpets of green I will cross many a deep blue sea to a wide sunshine land, just for me. I have my shamrock, my lucky charm my memories of many, a green rural farm so goodbye to villages and life so simple and true from a young lass to womanhood, I now have grew. with every word of a Celtic song inside will always find a home, lifelong. So goodbye my father dear I will think of you with every jig I hear. while your fiddle made the music we sang and danced along to its tune it will always ring through my ears throughout time, throughout my years. your love will forever, be in my heart now that time, keeps us well apart though we may never, met again for you my heart will sing, but not amen. my memory of this great, green land will go with me where ever I stand my childhood home, I now will part never will it be torn, ripped from my heart. the excitement of life brand new of sunshine and colours of every hue along this fearful path, towards the gain soothes the sadness, all of my pain. my home this emerald land will forever be etched etched upon my lonely young, soul
