Blue Runs Through Me True

If i was born a crayon
My colour would run its length
It would be of Saltire Blue
My countries colour gives me strength

We are the colour of the sky
It looks down on you and me
Its the colour of our flag
That flies the pride in me

If i was born a crayon
It would always be coloured blue
Just look to my veins
Blue runs through me true

Congratulations James. I thought for a moment this might have an Aussie flavour. To be True Blue is a great compliment in this neck of the woods. I loved your poem and have a small pin of the Saltire that I wear constantly. Well written...Margaret

Blue, oh blue. My fav colour. There is a lot of meaning behind one choice of colour, James. Blue does infact show strength. Also protection and high awareness of Spirit! Reading your poems that is obvious however. I do believe you hold a '9' in your life

Always knew your were a prince among men, James. Truly a blue-blood. And I certainly admire your pride in your country. I think I would like it there too from all of your poems describing Scotland's beautiful countryside. Love, Carolyn
