My Irish Granny - Poem by Marie

A Tribute To My Irish Granny 

By Marie Hurst on 17 June 2011 

land of my grt grt grt grandmother beckon to me 

Lure me home over the Irish sea 

There with eyes of pure emerald green 

My granny once walked, my Irish queen 

Mary I never knew you, I wish I had 

You died long before for that am sad 

All I know is you where my granny 

my Irish queen. 

from County Derry, Where I have never been 

Let the Irish music play so sweet 

let the shamrocks be crushed not by my feet 

For I am the outsider, born in the UK 

yet I would love to be Irish Just for a day 

Mary Glendenning born in 1836 I love you 


I have never seen your home land
