The shortest song I've written to date, I think, for my wee wife Genie, and to the tune, As I walked Out, all rights reserved, sing it in good health friends...

As I set out to the Listowl races
A red haired girl was there walking by my side
Come wind and rain and the sting of poverty
She has been my anchor my joy and my pride

Or'e the years that followed we knew few comforts
As we walked hard roads in these changing days
I could count on her for her strength and her loyalty
No matter the danger or rock strewn ways

And now as I sit here and I sing my heart to you
And I see a tear drop glistening as my tale unfolds
I would trade ten thousand of the tears your offering
For an ounce of the commitment my true love holds

Le haigh gra, Lor
