Megan Follows Davy To Canada Poem by Tamisha Bellamy

On a cold December afternoon in Pittsburgh, a telegram came in for young Davy
Back at home Charlotte suffers from a chronic disease
“Dear son, please come home to see your dear old grandma”
Without any hesitation or thoughts about her reputation, Megan follows Davy to Canada

In the year of 1919, on a cold January evening, a telegram came in for Mr. Davy
Back at home Thomas suffers from mad pain in his knees
“Dear son, please come home to see your sad old grandpa”
Leaving her four children behind- two with polio, one with chicken pox, and the other blind, Megan follows Davy to Canada

It costs too much for this gypsy woman to wait for time
When it is time to go, it's time to go
It's mental madness for this gypsy woman to miss her darling husband
Where Davy goes, Megan will follow

In the year of 1988, on a still October morning, a telegram came in for dying Davy
Back at home Hannah just suffers from missing her dear, old papa
“Dear daddy, oh, how I miss you so”
“I have no idea where mama has gone- tell me, do you know? ”
“Love always, your sweet daughter, Hannah”
Sorry, but this telegram will never be read
Davy suffered a massive stroke and now he is dead
Send this body back to Canada because Canada still calls him to return home
Megan later suffered from suicide because she could not bear the reality of being without Davy
So she did what she did best, and she followed Davy back to Canada
