Far South

Far south of Claraghatlea near Millstreet Town
The roads of life i have been up and down
Yet not financially successful in any way
And to many this is what is most Important in the Human World of today

In retrospect the years do go so fast
And all we have are memories of the past
Eventually we all do lose out to time
We slowly age past our physical prime

Though i have not seen Claraghatlea for many years
For the what used to be i have shed my last tears
And memories are all that i now retain
Of faces and places i may not see again

Far south of where i first grew to love Nature when i was a boy
Of learning of her ways today i enjoy
Of Nature we learn something new every day
That we never stop learning it does seem this way

We can go to the past when we visualize
This is something that we do come to realize
But life does go on as the wise one does say
And each day we live nearer to our last day.
