By Savage Garden
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong
I will be faithful
Cos I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me...
And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky
I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy
For all the pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by
The comfort and protection of
The highest power
In lonely hours
The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me...
Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
Cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do...
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me...
I want to stand with you on a mountain....

.Nearer thy God to Thee (1915) Played at the end of the funeral Mass for Paddy T.Fennessey earlier today.
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
Refrain
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone.
Yet in my dreams I’d be nearer, my God to Thee.
Refrain
There let the way appear, steps unto heav’n;
All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;
Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee.
Refrain
Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy
praise,
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.
Refrain
Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
Refrain
There in my Father’s home, safe and at
rest,
There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee.
Refrain

Help!
I need somebody,
Help! Not just anybody,
Help! You know I need someone,
Help!
When I was young, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way,
But now these days are gone and I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors,
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down,
And I do appreciate you being around,
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please please help me?
And now my life had change in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze,
But ev'ry now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down,
And I do appreciate you being around,
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please help me?

Don't Leave Me this Way.
..by the Communards.
All of my life, all of my life
I've been searching for a love like ours
Somewhere to stay, somewhere safe in your arms
I was so sure
Are you really saying your heart's changing
Do you really mean goodbye
Don't leave me this way, no, no
Don't tell me it's over
We've only begun and our love is so young
You're leading me nowhere
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Say what's on your mind, one thing at a time
And I promise you we'll talk it through
Don't walk away, there's so much more to say
Though my words seem lost on you
Can't believe you're talking like we're just friends
Can't you see the tears I cry
Don't leave me this way, no, no
Don't tell me it's over
We've only begun and our love is so young
You're leading me nowhere
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Are you really saying your heart's changing
Do you really mean it this time
Baby
Don't leave me this way, oh no
Don't tell me it's over
We've only begun and our love is so young
You're leading me nowhere
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
No, don't tell me that it's over
We've only begun and our love is so young
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me, don't leave me this way (don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me, don't leave me this way (oh you're gonna leave me
now)
Don't leave me, don't leave me this way
Don't leave me, don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
If you'll just take a little bit of time
You just might wanna change your mind
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way

Carried by the crowd Which trails us, involves us Écrasés one against the other We form one body And the flood without effort pushes Us connected one and the other And leaves us both Épanouis, enivrés and happy Entraînés by the crowd Which springs and which dances insane a farandole Our two hands remain welded And sometimes raised Our two intertwined bodies fly away And fall down both Épanouis, enivrés and happy. And the joy splashed by its smile transpierces Me and flashes back at the bottom of me But suddenly I push a cry among the laughter When the foul' vien to tear off it among my arms... Carried by the crowd Which trails us, us involves moves away Us one from the other I fight and I debates But the sound of its voice is choked in the rir' S of the others And I shout of pain Of fury and of rage and I cry And trailed by the crowd Which springs and which dances insane a farandole I am carried with far And I contract my fists Maudissant the foul' which steals me the homm' that it had given me And that I never found...
LA FOULE (The Crowd)Edith Piaf (France)
Je revois la ville en fête et en délire Suffoquant sous le soleil et sous la joie Et j'entends dans la musique les cris, les rires Qui éclatent et rebondissent autour de moi Et perdue parmi ces gens qui me bousculent Étourdie, désemparée, je reste là Quand soudain, je me retourne, il se recule, Et la foule vient me jeter entre ses bras... Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne Nous entraîne Écrasés l'un contre l'autre Nous ne formons qu'un seul corps Et le flot sans effort Nous pousse, enchaînés l'un et l'autre Et nous laisse tous deux Épanouis, enivrés et heureux. Entraînés par la foule qui s'élance Et qui danse Une folle farandole Nos deux mains restent soudées Et parfois soulevés Nos deux corps enlacés s'envolent Et retombent tous deux Épanouis, enivrés et heureux... Et la joie éclaboussée par son sourire Me transperce et rejaillit au fond de moi Mais soudain je pousse un cri parmi les rires Quand la foule vient l'arracher d'entre mes bras... Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne Nous entraîne Nous éloigne l'un de l'autre Je lutte et je me débats Mais le son de sa voix S'étouffe dans les rires des autres Et je crie de douleur, de fureur et de rage Et je pleure... Entraînée par la foule qui s'élance Et qui danse Une folle farandole Je suis emportée au loin Et je crispe mes poings, maudissant la foule qui me vole L'homme qu'elle m'avait donné Et que je n'ai jamais retrouvé...

Today 13th.Feb.2002 is Ash Wednesday, a day of fast and abstinence which is the start of Lent , a period of 6 weeks when Christians are supposed to make a sacrifice or penance, or do extra acts of kindness etc during the time leading up to Easter. The smearing of ashes in the shape of a cross on the forehead, is reminder of repentence and the shortness of this life, ' "For dust you are and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19).

C’est le bonheur pour moi
Eternal Flame by the Bangles
Close your eyes,
give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame
I believe it's meant
to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Is this burning an eternal flame

Feche seus olhos, me

Você sente meu coração pulsando?
Você compreende?
Você sente o mesmo?
Estou apenas sonhando?
Isto que está ardendo é uma chama eterna?
Eu acredito que
está destinado a acontecer, querido.
Eu te observo quando você está dormindo,
Seu lugar é comigo.
Você sente o mesmo?
Estou apenas sonhando
Ou isto que está ardendo é uma chama eterna?
Diga meu nome,
O sol brilha em meio à chuva...
Uma vida toda tão sozinha,
E então você chega e alivia a dor.
Eu não quero perder este sentimento.
Isto que está ardendo é uma chama eterna?

7.02.02 Wild Irish Rose (1899 ) by request for Charles Gaffney who chose it for his good friend.. Jim Flynn in Waterbury, CT. USA This was his Mother's favorite. She was born in Ireland.
If you'll listen, I'll
sing you a sweet little song,
Of a flower that's now drooped and dead,
Yet dearer to me, yes, than all of its mates,
Tho' each holds aloft its proud head.
'Twas given to me by a girl that I know,
Since we've met, faith, I've known no repose,
She is dearer by far than the world's brightest star,
And I call her my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose
, 
The sweetest flow'r
that grows,
You may search ev'rywhere,
But none can compare
With my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose,
The dearest flow'r that grows,
And some day for my sake,
She may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose.
They may sing of their roses which, by other names,
Would smell just as sweetly, they say,
But I know that my Rose would never consent
To have that sweet name taken away.
Her glances are shy when e'er I pass by
The bower, where my true love grows;
And my one wish has been that some day I may win
The heart of my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose,
The sweetest flow'r that grows,
You may search ev'rywhere,
But none can compare
With my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose,
The dearest flow'r that grows,
And some day for my sake,
She may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose.

LOVE. (The second Reading at the Wedding.)
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love,
I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,
but have not love,
I am nothing.
If I give away all I have,
and if I deliver my body to be burned,
but have not love,
I gain nothing.
Love
is patient and kind,
Love
is not jealous or boastful,
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love
does not insist on its own way;
It is not irritable or resentful,
It does not rejoice at wrong,
but rejoices in right.
Love
bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things.
Love
never ends;
As for prophecies,
they will pass away;
As for tongues, they will cease;
as for knowledge,
it will pass away
First Letter of Paul to the
Corinthians-31_13:8
Angels ..................Robbie Williams
I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we're grey and old
'cos I've been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I'm lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
CHORUS:
And through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
when I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
and I know I'll always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus x 2

Because
You Loved Me
Celine
Dion
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and
made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
All
That I Need lyrics
Boyzone
I was lost and alone,
Trying to grow,
Making my way down that long winding road,
Had no reason no rhyme,
Like a song out of time,
And there you were standing in front of my eyes,
How could I be such a fool?
To let go of love and break all of the rules,
Girl when you walked out that door,
Left a hole in my heart and now I know for sure.
You're the air that I breathe,
Girl you're all that I need,
And I want to thank you lady,
You're the words that I read,
You're the light that I see,
And your love is all that I need.
I was searching in vain,
Playing a game,
Had no-one else but myself left to blame,
You came into my world,
No diamonds or pearls,
Could ever replace what you gave to me girl,
Just like a castle of sand,
Girl I almost let love slip right out of my hands,
And just like a flower needs rain,
I will stand by your side though the joy and the pain.
You're the air that I breathe,
Girl you're all that I need,
And I want to thank you lady,
You're the words that I read,
You're the light that I see,
And your love is all that I need.
You're the air that I breathe,
Girl your all that I need,
And I want to thank you lady,
You're the words that I read,
(words that I read)
You're the light that I see,
(you're the light that I see)
And your love is all that I need,
(all that I need)

A thousand stars in the skies, like the stars in your eyes
They say to me, that there'll never be
No other love, like yours for me
A thousand stars in the skies, make me realise
You are the one love, that I'll adore
Tell me you love me, tell me you're mine once more
Each night I count the stars in the sky
Hoping that you are not telling me lies
You're with me tonight, I'm captured by your charms
Oh pretty baby, let me hold you in my arms
A thousand stars in the skies, make me realise
You are the one love, that I'll adore
Tell me you love me, tell me you're mine once more

Bitch by Merridith Brooks...midi and lyrics by request...
Hate the world today
your so good to me i know
but i can't change
tried to tell you but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel
underneath
innocent and sweet
yesterday I cried
must have been relieved
to see the softer side
i can understand how you'd
be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
all rolled into one
chorus:
i'm a bitch
i'm a lover
i'm a child
i'm a mother
i'm a sinner
i'm a saint
i do not feel ashamed
i'm your hell
i'm your dream
i'm nothin' in between
you know you wouldn't want it any other way
so take me as i am
this may mean you'll have to be
a stronger man
rest assured that when
i start to make you nervous
and i'm going to extremes
tomorrow i will change
and today won't mean a thing
chorus:
i'm a bitch
i'm a lover
i'm a child
i'm a mother
i'm a sinner
i'm a saint
i do not feel ashamed
i'm your hell
i'm your dream
i'm nothin' in between
you know you wouldn't want it any other way
i'm a bitch
i'm a tease
i'm a goddess on my knees
when you're hurt
when you suffer
i'm your angel undercover
i've been numb
i'm revived
can say i'm not alive
you know you wouldn't want it any other way
ooh,ooh,oh (repeat until fade)

It Doesn't Matter Anymore ...Buddy Holly.midi lyrics
There you go and baby, here am I.
Well, you left me here so I could sit and cry.
Well, golly gee, what have you done to me?
I guess it doesn't matter any more
Do you remember baby, last September
How you held me tight, each and every night
Well, oh baby, how you drove me crazy I guess it doesn't matter any more
There's no use in me a-cryin'.
I've done everything and I'm sick of tryin'. I've thrown away my nights, Wasted all my days over you.
Now you go your way and I'll go mine
Now and forever till the end of time
I'll find somebody new and baby, we'll say we're through
And you won't matter anymore.

The Prayer of St. Francis Italy 1182 – 1226 Sebastian Temple...midi dec 16th.
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow your love,
where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
and where there's doubt, new faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope,
where there is darkness, only light,
and where there's sadness, ever joy.
O Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving to all men that we receive,
and in dying that we are born to eternal life.
When You Say Nothing At All! by Ronan Keating .
from "Notting Hill 'film soundtrack"
It's
amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
Chorus
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
Now you say it best ... when you say nothing at all.
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Try as they may could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
Chorus

Believe...by Sher nov 30th.01
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're
leaving
It takes time to believe
it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you?
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel
strong
'Cause I've got time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you

That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, where ever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
Love can touch us

And last for a lifetime
And never let go til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time, I hold to
In my life will always go on
Near, far, where ever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you opened the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
my heart will go on and on.
Delaney's Donkey! .........Words below
Delaney had a donkey everyone admired, Tempo'rily lazy and permanently tired A leg at ev'ry corner balancing its head, And a tail to let you know which end it wanted to be fed Riley slyly said ""We've underrated it, Why not train it?" Then he took a rag Rubbed it, scrubbed it, oiled and embrocated it, Got it to the post and when the starter dropped the flag There was Riley pushing it, shoving it, shushing it Hogan, Logan and ev'ryone in town Lined up attacking it, shoving it and smacking it
They might as well have tried to push the Town Hall down! The donkey was eyeing them, openly defying them Winking, blinking, twisting out of place Riley reversing it, ev'rybody cursing it The day Delaney's donkey ran the half-mile race
The muscles of the mighty never known to flinch, Didn't move the donkey quarter of an inch Delaney lay exhausted, hanging round its throat With a grip just like a Scotchman on a twenty shilling note Starter, Carter lined up all the rest of 'em. When it saw them, it was willing then Raced up, braced up, ready for the best of 'em.
They started off to cheer it but it changed its mind again There was Riley pushing it, shoving it and shushing it Hogan, Logan and Mary Ann Macgraw, She started poking it, grabbing it and choking it It kicked her in the bustle and it laughed ""Hee - Haw!"" The whigs and conservatives, radical superlatives Libr'rals and Tories, they hurried to the place Stood there in unity, helping the community To push Delaney's donkey in the halfmile race
The crowd began to cheer it, Rafferty, the judge Came to assist them, still it wouldn't budge The jockey who was riding, little John McGee, Was so thoroughly disgusted he went home to get his tea Hagan, Fagan students of psychology, Swore they'd shift it with some dynamite
Bought it, brought it, then without apology The donkey gave a sneeze and blew the darn stuff out of sight There was Riley pushing it, shoving it and shushing it Hogan, Logan all the bally crew, P'lice, and auxil'ary, the Garrison Artillery The Second Inniskilling's and the Life Guards too
They seized it and harried it, picked it up and carried it Cheered it, steered it to the winning place Bookies all drew aside, and committed suicide Because Delaney's donkey won the halfmile race

My fathers family is from Waterford and I have recently returned back to Australia ,but intend to spend my honeymoon in Ireland next year.I was hoping to track down any girls who attended the Mercy Convont in 1980-82 who might remember the young Aussie who couldn't speak a word of Gaelic. I remember one girl whose name was Elaine who lived in Ballybeg. It would bi great to hear from any of them, or any one who lived in Comeragh Green, Lismore Park who may remember the Australian family who tried to teach the kids in the street Aussie Rules for football and cricket. Any help you could give me would be more than appreciated. Regard, Annie [Marie] Ryan. ....

Some of the words from Act 1 ....................Caro nome "Sweet Name"
Sweet name, you who made
my heart throb for the first time, you must always remind me of
the pleasures of love!
My desire will fly to you on the wings
of thought and my last breath
will be yours, my
beloved.
Some of the words from Act 3 La Donna è Mobile "Woman Is Fickle"
He who trusts her with his
heart, o wretch! is always miserable. Woman is
fickle, a feather to the wind, no orator or thinker.
Sweet name, you who made my
heart throb for the first time, you must always remind me of
the pleasures of love! ...My desire
will fly to you on the wings of thought and my last
breath
will be yours, my
beloved.
A Poem by email from an English Reader. .. :-) Nov 8th - 12th.01
How I long to
feel your arms around me tight each night

then u hold me closely and whisper in my ear
have i told u lately how much i love u dear
then u lift my nightie and your hands start to caress
oh bloody hell u silly fool u say, Oh no.... not a vest!!!!!!!!!

"You show me the
path of life. In your presence there is fullness of
joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
~Psalm 16:11

"In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right
hand are
pleasures forevermore." We do not find true happiness
by looking for
it. Seeking pleasure does not bring happiness in the long
run, only
disillusionment. We need not seek to have this fullness of
joy by
seeking pleasure. It cannot be done that way.
Happiness is a
by-product of living the right kind of life. True happiness
comes as a
result of living in all respects the way we believe God wants us
to
live, with regard to ourselves and to other people.

GONE FOREVER!
Is this possibly the last view of New York the terrorists saw before they crashed into the World Trade Centre? After all the recent dramatic photos and TV footage of the twin towers disaster, it’s hard to remember what East Manhattan looked like only one mony one month ago.
As a sad reminder, I have just received this amazing postcard from Sharon Ann Murray who lives in Florida, that she purchased on a trip to New York a short time before the skyline there changed forever.
Why did it happen?

Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life at Last I've Found You! (Another of my dad's favourites) (sequenced by Jill at http://www.melodylane.net 3nov 01)
Song from the operetta "Naughty
Marietta" (1910)
Sung by Jeanette
MacDonald and Nelson Eddy in the 1935 film version
Ah! sweet
mystery of life, at last I've found thee!
Ah! I know at last the
secret of it all!
All the longing, seeking,
striving, waiting, yearning,
The burning hopes, the
joy and idle tears that fall!
For 'tis love,
and love alone, the world is seeking;
And 'tis love, and love
alone that can repay!
'Tis the answer, 'tis the
end and all of living,
For it is love alone that
rules for aye!

mystery of life, at last I've found thee!

For 'tis love,
and love alone, the world is seeking;
And 'tis love, and love

For it is love alone that
rules for aye! .....
Its All Coming Back To Me Now! ..... (Meat Loaf) Celine Dion. 2nov 01
If you forgive me all this ...If I forgive you all that ....We forgive and forget... And it's all coming back to me ...When you see me like this ...And when I see you like that.... We see what we want to see ...All coming back to me I can barely recall ...but it's all coming back to me now.
There were moments of gold ...And there were flashes of light ..There were things we'd never do again ...But then they'd always seemed right ...There were nights of endless pleasure... It was more than all your laws allow Baby, baby, baby...
When I touch you like this ....And I hold you like that ....It's so hard to believe but It's all coming back to me...etc

When I Grow Too Old To Dream- words by Oscar Hammerstein II, music by Sigmund Romberg
When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart
And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
'When I grow too old to dream, I'll still have you to remember.'
This old fashioned song was one of my late dad's favourites.

Hi there!I was recently searching for Joanne (Vella) Lomasney on the Internet just for fun, and can’t believe I have really found her on your web-site!We were in school together in Australia until I left for Germany...
Cassie (a friend of ours) had told me Joanne had got married and gone to Ireland.
Maybe someone could send me her e-mail address, or give her mine, I’d be delighted to hear from her again!!
Maybe we could even get to see each other sometime, Germany isn’t that far away... If someone can help Joanne and me get into contact, It would be really be great! Luv, Petra (Petra Finkenzeller.) Please email Kiely if you know her.

Words as requested....by Mary in New York.
Death is nothing at all I have slipped away into the next room I am I, and you are you ....Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name Speak to me in the easy way Which you always used
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow ...Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me.. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.... Let it be spoken without effort Without the trace of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant... It is the same as it ever was ...There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight ? I am waiting for you Somewhere very near ...Just around the corner,
All is well.
by Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) Canon of St Paul's Cathedral

A Reminder of Summer!
Although August had some disappointing weather there were some bright and sunny warm days especially towards the end, which were thoroughly enjoyed by Laura Drinkwater from Yorkshire, a niece of Mary Pratt of New Street, Botany, Lismore, and her friend Amy Parker from Gt.Yarmouth in Nolfork, both students, who were over in Ireland, spending a few days with Laura’s aunt.
The Towers near Lismore, a folly built by a 50 something year old notorious famiine landlord, Arthur Kiely in the 1840s to keep his teenage wife happy. Trouble was the money ran out before the big house could be built.to go with this grande entrance.

Received last week from a woman called Mary who works in a resturant in Upper East Side New York who wrote, (Sept 01)
I looked through your site and liked it very much. I was wondering if you know of a poem from the Carmelite Monastery in Waterford, Ireland. The poem reads in part as such: "Death is but nothing at all. I have only stepped away into the next room. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you used to. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together." I would like to have the whole verse of the poem if I may, so please, if you know of it, I ask you again, Please, send it to me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless You Always. Mary :)
Please email Kiely if you can help.

Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace .....Words by St. Francis of Assisi. plus midi
| Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred let me bring your love; Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord; And where there’s doubt, true faith in you. Oh, master, grant that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved, as to love with all my soul. Make me a Channel of your peace. Where there’s despair in life let me bring hope; Where there is darkness, only light; And where there’s sadness, ever joy Oh, master, grant that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved, as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of your peace. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, In giving to all men that we receive; And in dying that we’re born to eternal life. |
