Nora Theresa Gallivan

The wanderlust in her young mind for places far away Here she would not raise her children and in brown dye cloak her gray Nora Theresa Gallivan where might she be today Some say she is in England others say the U S A? Beautiful green eyes and shoulder length wavy hair of brown The finest of the young women on our side of the town A charming unconceited girl with warmth in her smile Single in her early twenties one who was free of guile Ten months ago she left the town to experience life elsewhere For years she had daydreamed of traveling in the bigger World out there Young Joe who was in love with her often seems close to tears The ache of lost love has been known for to linger on for years She left the town ten months ago and the old family home Some say she is in New York some say London or Rome Young Joe who was in love with her in the pub drinks on his own The ache of love remains in him and happier days he has known.
