In Memory Today Poem by Francis Duggan

In Memory Today



In memory today them i only do meet
The people i knew in and near the Town of Millstreet
Many of them now in eternal repose
Old memories do out live the bloom of the rose
The memories of people i knew today live in me
In my visualizations them i do see
I see them as they were many decades ago
Though time on my body has become the foe
I have not been in Duhallow for three decades of years
And for my old memories i have shed my last tears
But for as long as the gift of memory with us does remain
The good and bad memories of the past we retain
And memories of what was in me too does stay
My erstwhile friends in thought i see every day.
