She Wrote About Our Mother.

She wrote about our mother and it took me far away And many, many years in time back home to Claraghatlea And as I read her letter I fought to choke the tears For Millstreet, Cork and Ireland and happy childhood years. She wrote about our mother long under Tanyard soil And memories flooded back to me of one with ready smile Of woman who worked hard for us for no reward or pay The heroine of our childhood years of happy by gone day. She wrote about our mother with sense of love and pride And memories flooded back to me and tears welled up inside For one who done her best for us her very best she tried And I still feel she is with us her spirit never died. A letter from my sister in east Rockaway in New York Reminding me of childhood years in Millstreet County Cork She wrote about our mother whose passing left a void And memories flooded back to me and tears welled up inside.
