The Way It Is; Churchyard Tree by Noreen Moore Murphy Uí Laighin

“I have been twice widowed and loved. I live in the beautiful Slieve Bloom Mountains in Co Laois. I wrote this poem during Covid19 lockdown, outside a dazzling church again, for another anniversary mass of loved ones. The big-tree watches over us as it has done for generations.” Churchyard Tree is read by Paul Dunne
