Poetry

  

 

 

The Celtic Waltz

 

To dance is to die

To cry is to be born

To laugh is to forget

To remember is to forgive

 

So lay down your arms

And take up the Cause

The Cause of our children’s lives

 

The children will laugh and run through fields

Fields of brick and high rise

The light they see is of a bright new day

A day without bloodshed

 

I pray for this day with all my might

When I shall walk with pride in my stride

And say to you that I remember... do you?

Before we dance our final slow waltz

 

To dance is to die

To cry is to be born

To laugh is to forget

To remember… is to forgive
