My 88 year old Irish patient recited this to me and I fell in love with this poem. He didn’t know the author, so I will be happy to tell him next time I see him. God Bless
Lovely poem. My father in law passed away last June and he used always recite it.he was 93 years and remembered every word.
My mother always recited this poem
We had to write it out when anyone had a difficult time
I received this poem years ago when I was in Ireland and saved it to re-read over and over.
My mum, who was Irish, used to read this to me as a child and I have always remembered it.
My father would recite this poem 60 years ago, it’s the first time I have seen it in print lt brings back memories dd
How lovely a memory!
WONDERFUL…lyrical and meaningful. Worthwhile to commit to memory! Joan
