Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Ireland. The Old Lady's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the North Ireland Association for Mental Health.A slide presentation has also been made based on her simple, but eloquent, poem. And this little old Scottish Lady, with nothing left to give the world, is the author of this "anonymous" poem winging around the world. More on Crabby Old Woman
