John F. McCullagh Biography

There are faces in the darkness

There to see and not be seen.
...

She had been through so much,
Still, the cancer had spread
Now six weeks into treatment
She's confined to her bed.　
...

The newcomers killed my woman,
...

A cup of tea, some soda bread,
Would you take some milk and sugar, friend?
Sit here by the fireside
And share with me the daylights end.
...

Is like a rose preserved from time.
Or like a treasured bottle
from a vintage year for wine.
