The Dead Hero

He died bravely under gunfire that much of him we do know
But on the dead hero's grave only wildflowers do grow
His life ended on a battle field many decades ago
And he did not live on for time to become his foe

He even daydreamed of adventure as a young child

He went to the Yukon where men mined for gold
His books of adventure millions of copies have sold

Paidi O' Shea

As a Gaelic footballer true greatness of him cannot be denied
So sad to hear that the great Kerry player Paidi O Shea of a heart attack has died
In his fifty seventh year of life he was far from an old man
He won eight All Ireland medals playing for Kerry in his amazing playing span

From Mt Evelyn his first home many sky miles away

For words to describe it one feels at a loss
