I have a new friend !
The Work was easy and not heavy ! I enjoed to much . We visit Tony’s friends and neightbords .
Her lovely smile
Brightened the day
The monaghan drumlins and cairns and forts
Welcomed her footsteps
As she set forth
With artful hands and straw coloured hair
Even a bull took time to stare
And now she,s gone we miss her so
May god speed you on your journey wherever you go
