Jude Flynn

Growing Old (Fireside Tales No. 7 issue 2009)
A little more grey in the lessening hair,
Each day as the years go by;
A little more stooping of the form,
A little more dim the eye.
A little more faltering of the step,
As we thread life’s pathway o’er,
But a little nearer every day
To the ones who have gone before.
A little more halting of the gait,
And a dullness of the ear;
A growing weariness of the frame
With each swift passing year
A fading of hopes, and ambitions, too,
A faltering in life’s quest;
But a little nearer every day
To a sweet and peaceful rest.
A little more loneliness in life
As the dear ones pass away;
A bigger claim on the Heavenly land
With every passing day.
A little farther from toil and care,
A little less way to roam;
A drawing near to a peaceful voyage
And a happy welcome home.

Sincere sympathy to Grainne, Ciaran, Joe and their families, his sister Peggy and extended family.
Happy memories of visits to our cousins in Drumgrania.
