Eileen Believed

Sister Mary Carmel and Eileen Ryan
Saw there were kids out on the streets
Nothing to do and nowhere to go
Who would look out for these troubled teens?

They set up St. Ita's on Thomas Street
And rounded up the youths to go to class
At first they were hard, disturbed and distrustful
But eventually their worries were surpassed

Some were young mothers, some from traveling descent
Some from broken homes living with violent arguments
Came together to learn, all under one roof
Eileen believed in them, their attendance was proof

Bad language, behavior and lots of noise
Met with strict but fair discipline and love
Settled the souls of these girls and boys
And held them when push came to shove

Birthdays were celebrated
They sang their favourite songs
Told hilarious stories
And felt they belonged

Sister Mary Carmel and Eileen Reilly
Saw there were kids out on the streets
Nothing to do and nowhere to go
So they looked out for these troubled teens?
