Calling
I hear the pipes from far away
drummers in fields play
highlands and bogs
pipers march
in dawns lifting fog
past forest and streams
overlooking stormy seas
the brave need no sword
In kilt they know who is lord
comrades and comradely
the knights of the highlands
know the battles are won
when in kilts the Pipers sound
aye lad's, I too march
homeward bound

In this trip through the Scottish highlands, Arthur, I sense the gallantry of those who march in battle. Indeed, a stirring description. We are all marching homeward... Hugs, Carolyn

I won't even pull a "Tommy" act on you, Art! This is truly one of your best, IMO... So much so, I now wish I was Scottish.
