Noreen Hannon

A young woman who was born with the inner glow Her friends and admirers in numbers did grow Time that rusts iron was not to become her foe That she was to grow old for her not to be so Noreen Hannon a beautiful young nurse from Duhallow on the right side of time Her life in the cruelest and foulest way taken from her in her physical prime In Sydney from her home in distance far away Good memories of her remain living today With wavy brown hair and a wonderful smile A young Duhallow beauty free of conceit and guile Her gift of life cruelly taken from her by one she never knew Real bad people like he is thankfully are of the few In robbing the beautiful ill fated Noreen of her gift of life He robbed her of her chance of having children or becoming anyone's wife An innocent victim of the foulest crime of hate She surely was worthy of a far better fate Noreen Hannon has been deceased for many years Good memories of her have outlived the farewell tears In her case the good do die young is only too true But a far better ending should have been her due.
