A DESCENDANT
A descendant of the Dál Cais,
found in the Dreamtime land,
drawing on all the ancient ways,
using knowledge to understand.
Given the precious gift as a child,
the power of words to find a way,
to deal with situations when
she didn’t know what to say.

Author's Note
"The origins of the Dál Cais, a dynasty of early medieval Ireland, are found in east Limerick, but around the start of the eighth century they were forced to expand into County Clare. They forged alliances with Cormac Cas, who was descended from the Eóganacht, a loose grouping of people who provided many early kings of Munster, and thus attempted to claim a major interest in the kingship of Cashel. From the tenth to the twelfth centuries, just as the fortunes of the Eóganacht declined, the Dál Cais dominated the province of Munster, initially under the leadership of Cenétig mac Lorcáin, and then under his sons Mathgamhain and Brian Boru."
