A Sweet Talk With Bobby Sands by Susan K. de Vegter Wednesday, January 22, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan I went to visit Bobby at a Belfast cemetery The day was rain and umbrellas.. Not out of the ordinary The biggest abnormality was in the spirit there... He spoke to me and chills ran deep My eyes rained forth with tears He's not alone for others sleep Where only angels tread He gave to me a tender peek At the hope that waits, instead He touched my heart... Where my soul dwells And whispered ever sweet "Don't give up...I feel it here... The marching in of peace. For Irelands day is on the mend And soon will come the day When Ireland is for all of us Peace bells will ring to pay Tribute to the patriots... Who live and died with me For I am hear to let you know Dry your eyes and you will see The greatest Ireland ever known With happy oneness...bliss I squeeze your mind and gently leave This message with a kiss. Tell my brethren I am well I rest with inner joy From Bobby Sands and all his gang... To Ireland and me boys!!!" � 1999 Susan K. Rowse

yes excellent brings thoughts of old video footage i saw as a child and so forth. He was a brave man indeed and passionate even becoming a TD(Congressman to americans i think) perhaps his philosophy was a little off but his passion was spot on and you hit it right on the head.
