Mary Kelleher

Many miles from her old home in Aubane in Clondrohid she lay She did not live on for to grow old and gray The great gift of life from Mary kelleher has gone But her genes in her children are destined to live on Her hair was as dark as the wing of a crow The lovely Mary I knew of from decades ago Her mother Nell is still living the late Con Kelleher's wife There are no guarantees in the length of one's life Survived by her husband and her children and her siblings Denis and Tess I do feel for her family in their sorrowfulness I knew her as young and lovely and free of conceit When she lived in Aubane near the Town of Millstreet From life's cares for us all there's a final release And at Clondrohid may she rest forever in peace.
