Denis Healy

He was a good person in him nothing small
Years ago he played for the Slanan Rovers Club in Gaelic Football
When he was a younger man in his life's prime
Though this is going back many Seasons in time

So sad to learn Denis Healy from life has passed away
That he lived as a very good person of him would be true to say
In his late sixties or early seventies he was far from an old man
So many have lived a far longer life span

Dark haired and handsome in his younger years
His passing in Millstreet would not have gone without tears
But for everyone a last Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
We are born as mortals and death is for us all

But he used in a good way his great gift of life
And he is a huge loss to his family and his wife
And he will be sadly missed by many in Millstreet
Who will mourn for a friend they will never more meet

For all of us there is a last night and day
By Cashman's Hill in St Mary's his last remains lay
One can only hope his parting from life was a painless release
That good man Denis Healy may he now rest in peace.
