"This is a poem I wrote for my husband Brendan O'Reilly and recited it on our wedding day in front of 180 guests.......... Eileen O'Reilly
You went to Gowna with your dad
and for this I'm very glad
In Whytes pub I saw you there
I sat at the bar and sneaked a stare
I thought to myself what a nice guy
What a pity I am so shy
With thanks to John you came a walking
You sat down and we kept on talking
I felt I had known you for a long time
We got on well, gosh you were fine
You captured my heart that night
Yes, I was sure you were Mr Right
We went out to the car for a kiss and a cuddle
We spotted your dad, were we in trouble?
He passed by the car with a smile on his face
and then we entwined in a warm embarce
I was sad the next day 'cos you were gone
I hoped it would not be for too long
With butterflies and nerves I picked up the phone
I left a message as you were not home
You rang me back, my heart made a flutter
I was so nervous I thought I would stutter
We arranged to meet on a Friday night
At Dublin airport I would meet my delight
I met you at the airport with a big cheesy grin
I thought all I need now is a vodka or gin
We went to Harry Byrnes for just one or two
I was all excited my first night with you
Moving to York was a big step to take
My friends I would miss, what friends would I make?
But since I moved over life has been supreme
In every way, if you know what I mean
So now that we are married and I am your wife
You will always be my hero and my life
You brought me happiness that very first day
and we'll always be together come what may
So here's to us and our future together
I'm sure we'll get through whatever the weather
Thanks for being you so loyal and so true
You can be sure I will always love you.

My Love...
My love is my man
the man I share with
The guy I faint for
The only one who I cry for.
Because of you, I am rich
Because of you I am famous
Because of you I am who I am
Without fear I show you my true self
with any obstacles I give you my heart
without worries or shame I give my self to you.
You have taught me the way of life
the paradise inside my heart
the true meaning of love.
With you I could go to the end of the world.
Loving is believing
Trust is sharing
happiness is the light
My heart is your salvation
Your soul is my hero.
The only true man I love is here
to stay and to grow
to share and to hold
to love and to hug
I the only woman for this soul
am content and proud of the treasure it has found.
