Jim Dunne He Was Waving Poem by Francis Duggan

Jim Dunne he was waving it is facebook told me
But from where could not say since him i could not see
Was it from Murphy's Terrace near the Town of Millstreet
Many years have gone by since him i last did meet

Jim Dunne was a boy when i was a young man
His journey in life in Murphy's Terrace began
He now is a few decades past his life's prime
Eventually we all become victims of time

A quiet spoken fellow the likeable Jim
I only hope that life has been good to him
One of the nice people of the Town of Millstreet
In green old Duhallow where the waterways meet

When i last met Jim Dunne he was with Ted Cleary his friend
In Jimmy Cronin's Holiday House in Millstreet Town's West End
On going back the Seasons a long time ago
Perhaps some four decades this well may be so

The good memories live on of the what used to be
Jim Dunne he was waving though him i did not see
He is one i remember from Seasons long gone
And though time is our master the good memories live on.
