Found an old part work in my archives, it is raw, needs a bit of polishing, but thought I would share till I get around to finishing it one day ? If ever at all ?
"No cross of Iron":
No cross of Iron,
just of wood,
I cast of the Old Head,
a simple tribute as I could:
to the “Glorious dead”
Three remembrances on the day,
I penned each cross with ink,
Each bore a reference to a ship
and a lost relative to the brink.
No Shamrock or the clover,
if put upon the sea,
could represent Kinsale men,
that helped keep our Country free.
Male ancestors were all Irish,
U-boats ensured:
that we would never meet.
They bravely served a Nation,
ensuring no defeat.
These men did hail from Kinsale,
from the Emerald Island, many more:
Putting the troubles behind them,
they attempted to help settle the score.
They joined in to keep the
“LIFE LINES OPEN”
and helped to win in a war,
No shamrocks or the clover -
to thank them,
but then again who foresaw.
The many brave Irish,
not coming back to his Celtic shore:
K.
Tribute Old Head of Kinsale: Thomas, James and James Joseph:
Day Break, Tregenna and Dudley Rose:
Amongst the many and more.
