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.

Lucy is the kindest of souls. In her I see the best of all character. I wish her all that life can offer. She is without a doubt the most lovable and and one of the most beautiful woman I have ever known. Hers is a beauty both inward and out that makes a heart ache.

I am taken to the time when quiet green hills brought lovers together. Their love creating this person in whom their blood flows today. Beauty is ever more when percieved by the mind knowing true perspective. A write the commends the object and the observer.

Something about the green hills of Ireland .To those of us who are Irish by decent it calls to us in the night.Bit to hear that melodic girls voice is almost hypnotic. Who could say no to such beauty?

This is a peaceful loving poem. It makes me feel alive but relaxed. The flow is so easy to follow. These words are simply beautiful. Oh to love like that.... I have and still do. It is just from a distance now.
