Tony Kelleher Poem by Francis Duggan

Tony Kelleher in Duhallow was well liked and well known
The man from Murphy's Terrace was one of Millstreet's own
Such sad news out of Millstreet to learn he has passed away
And in the cemetery of St Mary's his last remains lay
Perhaps in his fifties though years past his life's prime
Well short of being an aged man by many years of time
One of a large family of the deceased Rosie and Dan
Tony Kelleher as a living person was a very good man
A man who in his life made many a friend
But every life's journey does come to an end
The breath that sustains life from him may be gone
But good memories of him in all who knew him will live on
One would hope that from life his was a painless release
And may Tony Kelleher that good person in St Mary's rest in peace.
