Requeim

Harold Creggan 1950 (Tadcastor)



You passed this morning,
            and you I never knew.
I do Know that you were a strong man,
            for you fought your passing long.
You were a quiet man and brave,
            you fought your battle in silence,
                        without the slightest groan.


This is the place were I have been restrained,
            comfortable enough, but very depressing.
