Th' White, Stone Crosses O' Donnegal
The today's begin- as the yesterday's,
frosted dew from th' nights cold mist
blanketing acres of serrate damp soil,
grassblades wear th' sun on their tips,
a peacefully warm white burst o' light,
perhaps, Mother Natures kinder side,
accomodations for they dwelling here,
boxed below th' sod, forever sleeping-
th' many souls of unfinished business,
far-long beyond injustice an' sacrifice,
taken young, for love of country, and-
buried in a sea of white stone crosses;
real names attached to dates and war,
the dates not nearly far enough apart,
an' their stories..... would pale a ghost.
