RUSH

In memory of Elizabeth Imelda Rush (McCullagh) born February 2,1941, abruptly taken from us August 15, 1998.
Dearly missed by her husband, children,grandchildren, brothers, sisters and friends.
Love is patient and kind,
Love is not jealous or boastful,
It is not arrogant or rude,
Love does not insist on it's own way,
It is not irritable or resentful,
It does not rejoice at wrong,
But rejoices in the right,
Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things,
Love never ends,
(1st letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians).

I do not think of you lying in the wet clay of a Tyrone graveyard,
I see you walking down a lane among the Poplars,
And I think of you walking along a headland,
Of green oats in June,
So full of repose,
So rich with life,
And I see us meeting at the end of a town,
On a fair day by accident,
After the bargains are all made,
And we can walk together through the shops and stalls and markets,
Free in the oriental streets of thought,
O you are not lying in the wet clay,
For it is harvest evening now and we,
Are piling up the ricks against the moonlight,
And you smile up at us eternally.
(Patrick Kavanagh)
