Maura Dowling

Often see her in my younger years in my better days in life An attractive looking woman Maura, Dathai Dowling's wife A good mother to her children married to a decent man The Dowlings of Murphy's Terrace are a well known Millstreet clan, I did feel sad on reading that Maura has passed away For all of us eventually a final night and day From the Dowling family gatherings her's will be a missed face The mother of the family there is none to replace, Often seen her with Dathai and their children in Millstreet church on sunday Since then so many years in time have ticked and ticked away The role of wife and mother she did perform well If there is a life after death with angels she now dwell She remains young in memory as if time had stood still With Dathai and their children in the Town by Clara Hill.
