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.

Such effortless flow, and just the saying of emerald eyes made me love this poem. The eyes alone tell stories and hide the mystery within. Lucy is indeed a beauty.

[Tate Morgan]

Some of the time i find the effortless flow is a result of the subject matter. In this case "Lucy" .

Sri Thank you sir. I have known Lucy 7 yrs now .She is the one who started me writing those years ago.many of my early creations were to her. I sent her the two books her beauty inspired me to write. Much to her surprise.

"When Irish eyes are smilin'..." I read this out with an Irish accent a couple time and it sounds really cool!
