A Christmas card from a friend far away <br />It takes me back again to boyhood day <br />She was a woman when I was young boy <br />Some forty years ago how time does fly. <br /> <br />She was a good friend to our family <br />And nice to know she still remember me <br />A friend and neighbour of the very best <br />And one of the kindest souls of Millstreet West. <br /> <br />That Christmas card from Nora took me far away <br />Back home to Millstreet Town and Claraghatlea <br />And Christmas was a special time of year <br />A time of Santa, Christmas fun and cheer. <br /> <br />A Christmas card from friend of years ago <br />And no friend like old friend we used to know <br />And a card from dear friend is a gift of joy <br />And it took me back to when I was a boy.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-receiving-a-christmas-card-from-nora/
