    Stradbally Cove
    by David A Keohan
    The wave, rolling gently to Stradbally Cove
    Rolls onward intently to scenes that I love.
    The seagulls, adoring the gleam on its crest,
    While gracefully soaring, escort it to rest.
    Thus, mem'ry returning once more to behold
    Would gleam in its yearning that scene to unfold.
    For Remembrance and Duty would keep ever green
    That Eden of beauty so bright and serene.
