Up the Road a Little Bit

Songs, Stories, Poems and Reflections

By Michael Forty

Up the Road a Little Bit is a heartfelt collection of original songs, lyrical stories, poems, and reflections inspired by a lifetime of experiences, faith, family, memories, and the colourful characters we meet along the way.

Inside these pages you'll find warm Irish storytelling, humorous village characters, nostalgic memories of childhood and family life, reflections on growing older, love songs, faith-inspired pieces, and thoughtful observations about the human journey.

Meet unforgettable characters such as Father Flynn and his mysterious bicycle, Tommy Doyle the enthusiastic singer, Irish Molly, Old Malachy Byrne and his faithful dog Finn, Shamus of O'Reilly's Forge, and many more. Alongside these stories are deeply personal pieces exploring love, loss, hope, loneliness, gratitude, and the simple moments that often matter most.

Written in a straightforward and accessible style, these works celebrate ordinary people, ordinary lives, and the extraordinary beauty that can often be found within them.

Whether you enjoy Irish folk storytelling, reflective poetry, inspirational writing, or simply a good song lyric, this collection offers a gentle journey through laughter, memory, faith, and hope.

At its heart, Up the Road a Little Bit is a reminder that life's greatest treasures are rarely found in wealth or possessions, but in the people we love, the stories we share, and the moments we carry with us.

A collection of songs and reflections for anyone who appreciates the simple things that make life meaningful.
