A good woman

Eamon1943

proper brummie kid
Mother was born in dublin tin he year of our lord fourteen
A beautiful city by the sea best place Ive ever been

The long hot summer holidays adventure every where
Down to the lido at Portmarnoc life without a care

Daytrips to Howth & Dollymount picnicing by the sea
My mother & my three brothers & not forgetting me

Life was simple & innocent travelling by train & boat
Travel never bothered us as long as we stayed afloat

She worked as a seamtress & grew veggies in the yard
An elder sibling one of ten when times were very hard

Her father spent years at sea sailing the oceans wide
He use to tell me stories before he upped & died

So many happy moments growing up in a chaotic world
Living isn't just for grown ups as my life unfurled

The moral of what I've written as I sit here reading this
It's all about who you are scoring bullseyes not a miss
