I Remember Millstreet Poem by Francis Duggan

I remember Millstreet as a welcoming Town
Which was one of it's many just claims to renown
As some of it's people are famous and known far and wide
Beyond the borders of Duhallow's green countryside
It has been thirty years since i lived near the Town of Millstreet
By the old rushy fields where the waterways meet
And such beautiful memories of there i retain
That until the day i do die with me will remain
Years ago in Millstreet Town and Parish i felt one of their own
But to many today there i would not be known
From the Millstreet i knew it would be different there today
Since from there i have been quite a long time away
In Claraghatlea near Millstreet Town i first saw light of day and grew into a man
Though far south of there i may live out my life span.
