"Agnes of God"
I had an aunt named Agnes and as a baby I
had difficulties in saying words and that's the reason why
when I tried to name her, I wasn't very big and therefore
Agnes when I said it just came out as
"GIG"
The family thought it sounded cute so that became her name
and now, when I recall it, I hang my head in shame.
If I close my eyes it's no surprise I see her face so clear
and her lilting Irish brogue still echoes in my ear.
Her mother came from Ireland her father was a Scot
and so she had inherited a temperament quite hot
and in a fight you knew all right she'd give more than she got.
As I grew up she was true blue .A better friend I never knew.
she had a heart that was so big and I still love
"My Auntie GIG"
