THE ANGEL OF SLIABH LUACHRA

Today I walked in the shadow of an angel                              

A bright shining star that shone so well

As she smiled Her eyes filled with love

Which will now glow forever,  from above

If you are lucky enough to catch her eye

You will stop, and ask, why Oh ! why

But God has called her to his side

And by his law, we must abide

Where once a kiss, a hug, a look, was shared

A prayer is now whispered, by those who cared

In all our hearts, She now will dwell

Even with us, she did not know too well

I never knew this Little Mite

A gem I believe, so cute, so pretty, and sometimes quiet

From whence She came, She can be so proud

To hear the prayers in Sliabh Luachra recited aloud

Her Mother's daughter, an angel of light

She will be with You always, the Little Mite

So neighbours and friends

Remember, this is not where it ends

So gather around, and let it be said

Yes, I walked today with an angel instead.
