Maura Dowling

Often see her in my younger years in my better days in life
An attractive looking woman Maura, Dathi decent man
The Dowlings of Murphy's Terrace are a well known Millstreet clan,
I did feel sad on reading that Maura has passed away
For all of us eventually a final night and day
From the Dowling family gatherings her's will be a missed face
The mother of the family there is none to replace,
Often seen her with Dathi and their children in Millstreet church on sunday
Since then so many years in time have ticked and ticked away
The role of wife and mother she did perform well
If there is a life after death with angels she now dwell
She remains young in memory as if time had stood still
With Dathi and their children in the Town by Clara Hill.
