Lucy Said To Me

Lucy said to me do you miss Ireland far away
Since out of Australia she added  for a long period of time i could not stay
She did have me thinking for an answer to her question i felt lost
Migration to the migrant always comes at a cost
Such a question as this i have seldom been asked before
And though for thirty one years i have not seen Hibernia's shore
I do miss Ireland and in truth i can say
I do think about it more than once every day
As the migrant of Paris thinks of Paris and the migrant of Rome thinks of Rome
I too think of Claraghatles near Millstreet Town my first home
You surely miss Ireland Lucy said to me
And with her question i could not disagree
For i think of my first home more than oince a day
Though from there i have been many Seasons away.
