I Come From A Place

I come from a place far north of here miles of sky And my heritage one thing i never deny Claraghatlea near Millstreet Town is my first home place Where to many mine years ago was a known face To many there i would be a stranger today Just an ageing fellow that the years has left gray But i bet the old fields i loved would look much the same Some of them i recall had their own given name Though fond memories of them with me till death will stay The mentors of my young years with life's departed lay And though them in the flesh i shall never more see I owe them for their life's insights they passed on to me My heritage is a thing i could never disown But where i came from to only few i would be known.
