Hair as black <br />As a midnight sky, <br />And eyes, <br />So electric a blue, <br />Skin like <br />The richest cream <br />You ever knew... <br /> <br />Beauty from <br />The Old Country, <br />The Irish Land, <br />And my Father <br />Loved her <br />With all his heart... <br /> <br />But she sang for me, <br />Songs of the land <br />So far away, <br />Of Irish Eyes Smiling, <br />Of Red Sails In the Sunset, <br />And of Galway Bay... <br /> <br />My Mother <br />Sang to me, <br />Songs of longing <br />For that land <br />Far, far away, <br />Across the Irish Sea. <br /> <br />Scarlett Treat <br />January 9,2007<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-sang-for-me/
