Daniel Bernard Kelleher Poems

The lone piper leading the cortege
Carrying the hero to his final place
The haunting melody of the bagpipes
They arrives at the already dug grave
...

Where have the years gone
Why have they gone so quick
Sitting here and wondering
Where have the years gone
...

Am feeling very lonely
stuck here on my own
Seeing at depression
And how it takes hold
...

The darkness is coming back
Like a black hole in the sky
Not sure if I want to carry on
Or just lay down and die
...

Feeling very strange this morning
The darkness is getting brighter
See light at the end of the tunnel
Where a black hole existed before
...

Left behind a precious gift
That only God can bestow
My darling wife Maureen
Who he bestowed on me
...

Above, above soared a dove
Pure white as white can be
Beside the rambling brook
He lands so close to me
...

I went around to see my friends
Not to sure if they remember me
Walking around the fairy fort
Seeking out my friends the fairies
...

Sitting in my relaxing chair
One evening after a hard day
Shadows moving over rooftops
The sun shinning its last few rays
...

Walk along this winding lane
Until you come to a secluded lake
There you will have peace of mind
No finer place on earth you'll find
...
