Hanka, my darling
I remember when we first met, a Wednesday Eve if I recall
The sky was dark and beautiful, so clear even when black
When I first saw your face, I smiled almost immediately
Giddy perhaps, surprised and shy more than likely
And in this moment I saw a girl-
So pure and lovely, it made me weep with curiosity––
How does a man bring happiness?
To a soul so rich and sweet, with time so fine and scarce it was now or never
As the days passed and the hours carried on, I couldn’t stop thinking about you
From Slovakia you had come, you had found yourself in a vast world filled with-
Opportunities and enrichment, I could only admire your strength and courage
You have a beauty, so admirable and great I can’t stop looking at you, and a beauty so-
Adorable and real, it makes me smile even when there is no reason to do so
I wish you luck on your next adventure, to Canada you will go, this country you adore so
But remember me, your Irish boy––As I will remember you
Like a beautiful memory; always there and never forgotten
Bye for now, my love
