Beautiful and Majestic

Being a Scot I can be a little biased
but I have been here all of my days
at first hand, I've seen this land total
having walked over many banks and braes

Scotland by its occupants seem drab
tending not to appreciate it's glory
but when the sun shines over its land
brings out a rather different story

Even when the winter chill bites
there's a lovely stillness in the air
makes one stop to take it all in
planting desires for all to share

One sees trees and greenery abound
so beautiful and majestic to the eye
raises one's outlook on such a scene
those wooden bushes so very high

Scotland summers can be inconsistent
unsure of what the good Lord will send
but springs usually are fresh and bright
enough to gladen winter hearts as a friend

Scotland has so much to offer
among its rivers, mountains and glens
come and see for yourself such grandeur
sure you'll want to come back again

What a beautiful poem Gordon, it really is tempting me back to Scotland! I have visited Edinburgh and the Western Isles in the past and would love to return one day. Thankyou for planting those wonderful images into my mind again. Ann x
