About Poems for Dorothy

This website is dedicated to Dorothy Sheehan, wife to Michael Sheehan, who, seen by the collection of poems, wrote a series of love poems to show his love to his devoted wife. Having been past down generations, it felt like the correct time to publish these heartfelt poems, allowing others the chance to read them also.
