Matty O' Connor

So sad it is to learn of the news that Matty O' Connor from life has passed away
In Millstreet Town in view of Clara Hill where he first saw light of day
He lived as a decent human being and in him nothing bad
Which makes his passing for all who knew him to learn of very sad

Grieved by his  son, siblings and relatives and Mary his devoted mother
The grief of a mother felt at the loss of her child deeper  than any other
Perhaps in his mid fifties to early sixties Matty's death was unexpected
One of a large Millstreet family who are loved and respected

In Duhallow Matty O' Connor was well liked and well known
And it truly can be said of him that he was one of Millstreet's own
In Millstreet Town where he was born and grew into a man
Perhaps it was his destiny there for to live out his  life span

Never more to be seen in the flesh in Millstreet Town this does seem sad to say
In St Mary's Cemetery by Cashman's Hill his last remains do lay
One can only hope his passing from life for him a painless release
The good man Matty O' Connor may he now rest in peace.
