I Would Like To See You Again.

I was sittin’ here thinkin’ about some old times,
Some old times, some old friends,
And suddenly it came across my mind,
I would like to see you again.
Remember how we used to walk and talk,
Walk and talk, holdin’ hands,
We said we loved each other I recall,
We made a lot of future plans.
But the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.
It’s funny how a feeling will come back,
It’ll come on back, make you blue,
Cause I just saw a picture in my mind,
Bout a time, of me and you.
But the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
And tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.
Yes the years have come and gone,
And a whole lot has happened since then,
But tonight your memory’s awful strong on my mind,
And I would like to see you again.

Clash Of Ash – Poem By Tom Ryan

Clash Of Ash.

Clash Of Ash. ©

The under twelve camogie girls,
Little and lithe and lovely,
Under warrior helmets, visors and all,
Screamed at the winter sky,
In the field where leather meets ash.
Pull and crack,
What craic!
Little Josie, hurley high, screams to heaven,
At Thurles Sarsfields’ Bill,
Who had showed them how to bend and strike,
And first time pull for goal.
Like Bill himself in glorious days,
On summer sun-soaked hurling fields,
Times distant and delightful to recall,
“Bill, Bill,” she shouts, time and time once more,
“Oh,Bill I want to play with her”.
A plea to waiting mums familiar,
When all those mums were girls,
When Bill and I were boys.
