The Best of Me

What makes me beautiful

Kathryn was adventurous, loyal and steadfast

From Mary, her sweet nature and features amassed

Kathleen, her hardworking, strong Irish pride

In these women, my own beauty's tied

Be it nature or nurture, witness or bloodline

These women live, their traits I enshrine

The best of me

Is my ancestry

Author's Note
