Come Home To Dublin

By Paul McCann

 

Will you ever stop and listen to me ,

come home to Dublin

or I’ll tell Dublin to come home to you.

Because with all of the hope

in every Dubliners heart

you’ll know the love of Dublin we have is true

 

So where ever you are living

in any place here on Earth .
won’t you make time and just give us a call

 

Let me hear the joy you have in your voice

Or you can even share with me

all of your troubles and all .

 

We’re always here , we never change

Its still the same old story

with same old faces that shine each day

 

Come home anytime ,

you know there’s a welcome here . 
 because you know in Dublin

your heart will always  stay ,

,

Dublin's a much different place now to how it was when I was first there more than fifty years ago, but it's still the most welcoming city on Earth. There's always people there wanting to have a good old chat with you, to share your joys and sorrows. Your poem is bang on the nail.

I tend not to stay long now as I'm always in a rush to get off to Mayo. Louisburgh and Wesport will always have a special place in my heart.

I wrote a short piece about a bit of Dublin myself three or four months ago. 

It's called Patrick Kavanagh and Me. I think it was round about November that I posted it on ABC if you're interested.

I thought this a love poem to Dublin. For my sins I've never visited that lovely city but it always sits in my imagination beckoning me.

I love the way you put that Dougie .

Sure enough we're all sinners and there for the Grace of God ...  

Kind regards

Also Irish blood here. And with our massive emmegration from SA  some say the Afrikaner is the new Jewish, scatterlings of Africa. But keeping our customs and traditions alive.

I prefer to stay, all considered I think it's better here than overseas.
