A Woman Of Resilience Poem by Liam ó Comáin

(Derry By The Foyle)

A woman of resilience,
Remarkable resilience,
Reminiscent of the great
Cities of the world…

Proud of your sons and
Daughters who have
Carried you to other
Lands and who treasure
Their roots by the Foyle.

Your future as great
As the aeons of your past,
Your materials
The hearts and the minds
Of your children.
A fine mixture of Celtic,
Planter, and other stock-
The Derry man and woman.
