Tim Murphy Poems

My father often used to say:
'My boy don't throw a thing away:
You'll find a use for it some day.'
...

To live,
To love,
To be.
To raise a family.
...

I do not miss you, but
I miss your mums cooking,
whether it was well seasoned lamb,
or pork and stuffing.
...

How can you accept something,
that causes you pain?
Stammering can keep me up at night,
w-w-wondering...is there something wrong with my brain?
...
