You Are A Castle

---

This old gal…

Has a favorite hotel…just so happens to be…in Galena…an Irish Cottage hotel…built by two cousins from Ireland…shipped building materials from Dublin…

Makes the place…feel authentic…free Irish breakfast…tea and crumpets in the lobby…can’t go there…without thinking of those girls of mine…that summer we traveled…to Limerick…

Breathtaking landscapes…lush…green…rolling hills…imposing cliffs…beautiful hydrangeas near precious little homes…and then…there are…

The castles…there’s something about the castle…strong…mighty…stately…ugly…yet beautiful…trustworthy…safe…

It resonates…we…resonate…

That purpose…in life…spouse…parent…teacher…friend…be strong…protect…keep loved ones near…and evil…out…weathering with age…never waning…in determination…

A mighty fortress are we…don’t let the battles win…call on your people…and stand firm…because you…are a castle…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
