Mary Healy Poem by Francis Duggan

In her younger years her hair was a darker shade of brown
She was born Mary Duggan in Claraghatlea close to Millstreet Town
Like many before and after at home she did not stay
She went to live in New York where she still lives today.

She married John Healy he was her soul mate
Though deceased he will be with her in spirit her birthday to celebrate
Her son John is the proud dad of a lovely baby boy
Her young Grandchild is Mary Healy's pride and joy.

A beautiful person so down to earth and kind
And her very equal would be hard to find
And so very honest what she does think she does say
And such a very good person in every way.

Far from her old home in Millstreet County Cork in New York U S A
She will celebrate what will be her seventieth birthday
A role model to many on her journey through life
She performed her role well of the good mother and wife.
