Joan And Carmel

Since I've last seen them 21 years in time has gone They soon will be forty the clock is ticking on Married with children in Millstreet Parish Joan Cotter and Carmel Dinneen It has been awhile now since they were nineteen. Now well into mid life and the clock ticking away For anyone time does not wait as some are known to say Our young years go quickly and young we cannot stay I wish Joan and Carmel a happy birthday. Though since I've last seen them it does seem long ago Two beautiful young women I felt privileged to know Where have the years gone to time went so fast And them I recall when I go to the past. Though separated by distance and in years apart Joan and Carmel retain a place in my heart In Millstreet their children into adults will grow Where the river Finnow to the Blackwater flow.
