Tadgh Driscoll Poem by Francis Duggan

Tadgh Driscoll and his late Wife Kathy raised their three sons in Millstreet and by Millstreet Town his last remains now lay
In his ninetieth year of life he was a good age since for all of us a final night and day
He was a chemist and a travel agent an honest man one well liked and well known
Around Millstreet Town quite a familiar figure his friends in numbers through the years had grown
Memories of him will live on in Millstreet those who knew him with fondness will recall
A man who loved life and was loved by many and a good and decent person overall
He did his best in life that's all one can do to the higher self he was one who was true
He was a credit to his Town and family and that is only giving him his due
If I return to the Town of Millstreet Tadgh Driscoll is one that I will not see
But he is one I always will remember he will not fade out of my memory
It has been awhile now since I lived in millstreet I hear the changes have been happening there
Some of those I knew in my young years are deceased and some others they have gone to live elsewhere
And Tadgh Driscoll gone from Millstreet Town forever from life one hopes his was a painless release
He was an honest and a decent person and like 'tis said may he now rest in peace.
