SO SILENT WAS YOUR LEAVING
by Robert M. H. Zirbel

So silent was your leaving,
Not a sound to say goodbye,
Just a silence that you left behind
And that silence seemed to say
“Please, please…
Do not grieve…
For I just had to go.”

So silent was your leaving,
Uttering not a painful cry
Nor even a fearful moan.
And that silence seemed to say
“Please, please…
Do not grieve…
For I just had to go.”

That silence is still not shattered
Even though my tears pour down
To join with all the unsaid words…
Those special, special words…
That I had always meant to say.

If I had cried out “Please, please don’t go.”
Would you have stayed?
No, I think not
For you had been called…
And you knew you had to go.
Yes, you knew you had to go.


I wrote this for my late wife Pauline who was from Limerick and was a great fighter too.

You saved ireland from economic disaster.may you rest in peace

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

My thoughts are with the family , what an example of a true spirt , he will be missed .I regret never meeting him but have been effected by his ability to shine. He is an example of a leader and what a statesman .

Toutes mes condoléances à la famille de M. Lenihan dont j'ai pu admirer de France et à chaque fois que j'ai eu la chance de me rendre en Irlande le courage politique aussi bien que personnel.

A mes yeux, M. Lenihan a été un très digne représentant de son pays et a su incarner la force, la persévérance, l'amitié et la simplicité qui font le génie propre de l'Irlande.

Reposez en paix, M. Lenihan, et que vos compatriotes sachent que des amis étrangers sauront également perpétuer votre souvenir.
