<p>My Mum</p> <p>Dearest Mum,</p> <p>I just want you to know that I miss you and love you so much. Your were always the "Country Girl" from County Offaly, Ireiand. I was so lucky to have had you as my Mum. You will always be in my thoughts and in my heart.</p> <p>I recited the following poem by William Butler Yeats at your service as I remember you reciting this to me as a child.</p> <p>"The Lake Isle of Innisfree"</p> <p>I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,<br />And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:<br />Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;<br />And live alone in the bee-loud glade.<br />And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,<br />Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;<br />There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,<br />And evening full of the linnet's wings.<br />I will arise and go now, for always night and day<br />I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;</p> <p>While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,I hear it in the deep heart's core.</p> <p>Your "Little Australian", Joanne Elizabeth Rafferty</p>
