Gavin Tarrant

I know his father John and his mother Marie and his Grandmother Breeda Tarrant from many years ago And though young Gavin I heard tell of him I never met to know But sadly of his illness on the Millstreet Town Web Site I read And sadder now to learn that he is amongst the dead. He was not granted many years of life for to enjoy And his heartbroken parents, siblings, relatives and friends grieve for a brave boy Who lost the battle for his life the Reaper took him young Though against the odds for many weeks to life he bravely clung. That Lady Luck can be unkind in his case seems so true The great dreams that he had in life he now cannot pursue To fall in love and raise children and live to grow old and gray Life sometimes can seem so unfair and that seems sad to say. 'Tis tragic when the young do die though death we all must face Gavin is gone from his family and none to take his place Stricken with a terminal illness from life his was a painful release But now all that behind him and may he rest in peace.
