When People Ask Me

 When people ask me where i come from i say from Millstreet
From the green countryside where the waterways meet
In Duhallow in North Cork from here far away
It is there i first looked on the bright lamp of day
I have not been in Millstreet for thirty four years
But for the what used to be i have shed my last tears
To be born and raised in Claraghatlea close to Millstreet Town
Does remain as my only link to renown
Where i first grew to love Nature when i was a boy
And learning about her today i enjoy
And though my wonder of her never does cease to grow
So little of her ways i can claim of to know
I am learning every day in this Land of the south
That in life there is so much to learn about.
