 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


Two days after St Patricks day
Ryan Sheridan Patrick was born
Seem Irish enough
It makes this old Irishman feel his age
My youngest Grandson soon off to college
Remembering days of long ago
Where in life would this teenager go
Where was I at seventeen?
Telling Mom I was dreaming a dream
I was about to become a Marine
Bad eyes deaf in one ear oh Dear
The AirForce excepted me as a medic
Enough to serve my country what the heck
Today I live my life through my Grandkids
They well all dream the dream I did not know
Hockey student player of the week
3.5 honors advanced courses 93 percent
All that and scored a hat trick
Proud am I it is so slick
Happy birthday boy and may your dreams come alive
All kids college graduates all five
Now kids my dreams have been kept alive
You see at seventeen I felt unworthy
You kids one by one have made me proud
That I stayed in school to graduate
