Living a Scot In My Home Land

I've lived in my land all of my life
travelled in many other lands on holiday
but always to return to what I call home
cause it's special always come what may

The weather is well documented as dull
but has its bright spells not often as it should
when the sun comes out it's so colourful
brightens up your day get you in right mood

Raised up many a famous poetic pen
Burns, Scott and Bonar to name a few
makes one seek to be inspired by them
hold your pen up to wait in the queue 

The scenery of the highlands and lowlands
will take your breath away so very grand
the majesty of the wonder of its creator
shows the finger of a divine hand

So many grand castles and mountains
really there's so very much to tell
but really you should really come yourself
to see it in its glory to watch it all gel!

Thanks Anne, Glad you thought it lovely and you enjoyed it. What's your Scottish background? I am in Scotland and always interested in those of Scottish descent. Blessings, Gordon

I loved the sense of pride in your beautiful country, Gordon and justifiably. My son works at St Andrew's University and we have recently enjoyed the delights of Loch Lomond with him. Some great lines here, Gordon and keep that pen poised ready to follow in formidable footsteps!
