Eileen O Keeffe

Such a beautiful person her likes rare and seldom seen
And sad to think that she has gone for forever more from her old home in Dooneen
Eileen O Keeffe was a role model to her big family and in life she made many a friend
But the life journey for all of us one night or day must end.

Pre-deceased by her husband the renowned greyhound trainer Paddy O Keeffe he died somewhile ago
Eileen was loved by everyone who knew her she did not have a foe
In St Mary's Cemetery by Cashman's Hill her last remains now lay
For each and everyone of us a final night and day.

One cannot help but recall her marvellous smile that lit up her lovely face
In the hearts of friends and family there is none to take her place
Though in the lives of her many children and grandchildren her spirit will live on
'Tis only her physical remains that to St Mary's Cemetery has gone.

One can only hope that from life her's was not a painful release
As she was such a good person she deserved to die in peace
A great model to her family in life she made many a friend
But life's journey for all of us one day or night must end.
