A Lass

Lucy Hamilton whose light shone across an entire ocean, to brighten the moonlit sky upon my endless nights.

Lucy Hamilton Princess of Ireland

The brightest star in the night sky

I chanced upon an evening walk

beneath the stars with you

Transformed was I to hear you talk

so bright and shining too

 

Emerald eyes from which you gaze

taken from your lands of green

Shone back to me in loving ways

more beauty than I had seen

 

I listen for each and every thought

to flow from your beautiful mind

Everything you say I am then taught

in greatest measure and kind

 

Daughter and heir of precious dreams

sweetest of days morning dew

Oh much more ever than she seems

such is the beauty of you

Author's Note

Lucy Hamilton whose light shone across an ocean. To brighten the moonlit sky. Upon my endless nights.

Dear Lucy:
Each time Becky and I hear your voice on the phone we light up, look at each other and smile over the beauty that is you. We both wish you all our love from centuries and ancestors past and present.

Beautiful as always! You can feel the love in the poem! Her voice is beautiful!

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you so much 😊

[KAREN]

you're welcome!

[M. J. Smith]

I am amazed. I mean, I live in the Ozarks. I'm a half educated hillbilly. I wander, a drifter in Nature. And I am sharing words with a man who has known royalty. That same man asked me to collaborate on a poem. Your fast becoming someone I admire. Thank you.

[Tate Morgan]

Thanks but I am as common as a weed.

[M. J. Smith]

My friend, any man who can earn the friendship of a princess is a cut above. I can't begin to imagine the life you have lived.

[Unspoken poet]

[Tate Morgan]

[Unspoken poet]

[Robert Trakofler]

well any doubt of your affection is gone within the first stanza! She has a lovely voice and i love your depiction of her graces to sonority stemming from the her spirits resonance from the home she channels hallow notes indeed.

What a wonderful gracious thing to do Tate.

[Tate Morgan]

I wrote three books and then published them.All three were inspired by her . So i sent them to her as I want her to know I treasure her. As much as she most likely treasures them.

[Onlyme]

Wow, that is beyond admiration and inspiration. She is a very lucky lady. To have a dear friend in you Tate.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I always hope the impressions made are worth the time they took to create. those three books took 7 yrs to create.
