Denis Healy

He was a good person in him nothing small Years ago he played for the Slanan Rovers Club in Gaelic Football When he was a younger man in his life's prime Though this is going back many Seasons in time So sad to learn Denis Healy from life has passed away That he lived as a very good person of him would be true to say In his late sixties or early seventies he was far from an old man So many have lived a far longer life span Dark haired and handsome in his younger years His passing in Millstreet would not have gone without tears But for everyone a last Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall We are born as mortals and death is for us all But he used in a good way his great gift of life And he is a huge loss to his family and his wife And he will be sadly missed by many in Millstreet Who will mourn for a friend they will never more meet For all of us there is a last night and day By Cashman's Hill in St Mary's his last remains lay One can only hope his parting from life was a painless release That good man Denis Healy may he now rest in peace.
