Mary Murphy


Our Patrick found a jewel,

When  wooed he, young Mary,  

I now know why he chose you,

You’re loving, kind, cheery,                                   


 You’ll try your hand at anything,

Your expertise, abound.

Ne’er shirk responsibility,

At least, ’tis what I’ve found.


Your thoughtfulness, assistance,

Will help, in any way,

Nothing is a problem,

To YOU, it’s like ‘child’s play’


A "mother hen" to anyone

Who needs assistance, care,

NOT full of empty promises,

If mentioned, - you'll be there.


Meticulously efficient

In everything you do,

And if you promise to assist

One CAN, rely on you. 


Many people promise 

To help with ‘this or that’

Although whene’er ‘push comes to shove’

They’re gone - just like scared cat.


NOT so with our dear Mary,

A ‘promise keeper’ - she

If she does vow, she’ll keep her word,

‘ Right  on the ball ’ she’ll be.


It’s cited in the adage 

“Out of sight - out of mind”

Though NOT with our kind Mary,

A vow made, she will bind. 


So “THANK’s to YOU’’ dear Mary, 

Your love abounds, no end,  

With grateful and beholden heart,

We term you as a “Friend”.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

    I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.

A Father's Blessing

                  As youngest son, I always sensed                   From many of the brothers,                   True or not, they’d put me down,                   I wasn’t like the others.                                    A few days prior to passing on,                  A blessing I was giv’n                        From my beloved, aged dad,                  Before he moved to Heav’n.                                    His health was failing faster now                  The family rallied 'round,                  My eldest bro from ‘cross the sea,                  Was heading ‘homeward bound’.                                   While visiting, - a daily rit,                 To spend some ‘qual’ty time’,                 I mentioned ‘bout th'upcoming trip,                 I’ll ne’er forget this line.                                 “You’ll not need me tomorrow night                 To visit with you, dad,                 Your number
