Pat Broderick

From Clara View in Millstreet where he and his deceased wife Breda raised their children and had lived for many a day
Pat Broderick died in the Sheelin Nursing Home in County Cavan from Clara Road far away
At least a ten hour journey north of Duhallow by motor car
To most people in distance this does seem quite far

An honest man quiet and gentle in his way
In his working life Pat worked hard for his every pay
So sad to learn that the life journey has come to an end
Of such a good person who to many was a good friend

The curtain on his life has been drawn down
But he will be remembered and missed by all who knew him in Millstreet Town
For he was a kind and good and an honest man
One of years of life who did have a long span

In Woodford in County Galway his old homeplace
Where to many his was a known and a loved face
The last remains of Pat Broderick does forever lay
He lived as a good person of him one can say.
