Title A name given to the resource Bombardier 37063 Author: Martin Power Subject The topic of the resource A warm, gentle breeze bends the bearded stalks of the barley That line the walkway to the cemetery, Inside the dry stone wall with its granite stone capping Yew trees stand among the headstones; Inscribed on those headstones are family names That have been spoken here for generations While others , their inscriptions have been lost to the ages; In the southwest corner stands a small, white headstone, Its inscription reads 37063 Bombardier P Nolan Royal Garrison Artillery 30th July 1917 Aged 30 RIP As I gaze upon that headstone, one hundred years to the day, I can't but wonder how he died or where he fell; Did he die upon the battlefield? Did he fall in no-mans-land? Was he killed alongside his comrades fighting for a cause they did not understand/ I wonder what brought him there, was he seeking glory or adventure? Or, was it poverty that caused him to join up to fight in a war to end all wars? That night we prayed for all poor souls, and the priest he blessed the graves, And we walked back through the barley field and went upon our way. But curiosity is a funny thing and it got hold of me that night For I could not forget the soldier lad till I learned of his sad plight. It wasn't bomb or bullet, or bayonet that brought him to his knees, But the deadly fear of fighting men, that incurable disease, The dreadful tuberculosis was the cause of his demise; It was the terror of the trenches for it took so many lives. 'Discharged, unfit for service' is what the army said, they sent him home to Ireland, his own war to fight instead. This was not a glorious battle, there was no medal to be won, But rather a slow and painful fight was to be his setting sun And in the Carlow workhouse on that beautiful July morn He gave his soul to God above, his battle bravely won. Description An account of the resource The reflection could be applied to thousands of wasted lives, in thousands of wars. In this case the 'casualty' was a young local man, another victim of wars made by others. The grave is situated in Leagh cemetery, not far from Graigue, Carlow.

Title A name given to the resource Those Fields Author: Martin Power Subject The topic of the resource Where I live now was once a field, Three fields away from where I grew up, And those fields to myself and my childhood friends Held a world of adventure for us. Those fields would be planted with barley, With beet , and turnips and hay, And it's there we played and we hunted And spent many a memorable day. We'd search the hedges for birds' nests, Make camps out hay and of straw, And we'd forage in Autumn for berries, Crabapples, for nuts and the sloe. With our faithful dogs we'd go ratting In the beet fields and hedges all day, And still to this day with fondness I recall The dogs from my childhood days. We'd set snares in the evenings for rabbits, In the mornings we'd go check our lines, And in the winter we'd go trapping finches With our calling bird, cage and our lime. In those fields we learned about Nature, We grew up with respect for the land; They were such a big part of our life back then As I grew from boy into man. Now, those fields are planted with houses, With garages, hotels and with stores; There's a road running right through the middle On which cars and lorries now roll. That life has changed is unquestioned And I'm not sure that's good or it's bad, But, given the choice to grow up now or then, I'd rather the childhood I had. Description An account of the resource The poem is a nostalgic memory of childhood activity in land now urbanised and modernised.

Title A name given to the resource Untold Joys Author: Martin Power Subject The topic of the resource To drink once more from Sleaty pump That cool, clear water of an August day And walk the road with childhood friends Past Sleaty church to Knockbeg weir And spend a carefree day again Without the weight of worldly woes And live again those happy days When youthful ways were to the fore Or to swing a club for eighteen holes In St. Fiacc's pitch and putt Upon a warm summer's day And smell the grass so freshly cut Or cast a rod at Webster's Lock And wait to see the rod tip twitch And hear the bell of St. Clare's church Ring out the angelus at six. To hear once more my mother's voice Say 'Well, how are you son?' Or Sunday drives in my father's car And hear him sing his songs, To watch my grandfather large as life From a saucer sup his tea Or gather in the family home And pray the Rosary on our knees. But these are childhood memories And precious though they be Are left back on the tracks of time And never more can be. But the train of life keeps rolling on And new people have come on board And creating memories now with them Brings joys that are untold. Description An account of the resource The poem is a collection of snapshots from times past, places and people now gone; but, we must continue to make new memories for ourselves and our loved ones.

Title A name given to the resource The Maple's Limb Author: Martin Power Subject The topic of the resource A small cup of moss and lichen, Tucked away on a maple's limb, And five white eggs with speckles brown Are laying warm and safe within. And on that cup of moss and lichen Sits a goldfinch with colours bright, Keeping warm and ever protecting Her eggs of speckled brown and white. And why she chose to build her nest there Out on the maple's limb, For all around are children playing, Running, jumping, causing din. The maple grows within the schoolyard, It's not the safest place to be And I hope they haven't noticed That goldfinch nest up in the tree. For surely if they spot her sitting Up among the maple's limbs, Curiosity itself will cause them To climb up there and search within. And for a moment, tiny goldfinch, Your little secret's safe, it seems, But soon that nest will house a family Up there amongst the maple's limbs. Description An account of the resource The poem is a snapshot in time, noticing the small nest in a less than secure setting.

Title A name given to the resource St. Fiacc of Sleaty Author: Martin Power Subject The topic of the resource A bishop blessed by Patrick Apostle of Our Lord, You built your church amongst us And brought to us God's Word. In your penitent cave you knelt and prayed For forty days and nights That God would help us leave behind Our ancient pagan ways. With your brothers you preached the Gospel And spoke of God's great love, And how He gave His only son Who bled and died for us. You lit in us a Pascal flame That burns within our hearts; It's the Risen Christ, He guides us And keeps us on the Path. And still today we gather Beside that ancient cross And pray for those that have gone before Who carried on your work, And kept alight that Pascal flame You lit so long ago When you spread the seed of God's great love And nourished it to grow. That little church that you had built No longer stands today, But the message that you brought us Still lights and guides our way. O holy saint Fiacc of Sleaty Enthroned on high above We pray, and bless and thank you For bringing us God's love. Description An account of the resource The poem is a prayer to St. Fiacc who is remembered reverently as the bringer of Christianity to the Sleaty and Graigue region.
