River Irvine

Having lived in Scottish Countryside
during my early formative childhood
a river flowed behind house
many moments there I stood

On a sunny summers day
there watched time go by
so peaceful tranquil setting
makes one want everlasting high

This is the river Irvine
running round it's every bend
taking it's streaming tide along
this stream never to end

Many a walk I've took
with Cora my friendly dog
along this on spring night
taking rest on wooden log

These are such precious memories
one's that need kept in mind
so to be thankful always
for these moments always shined


(This River Irvine runs from Lanarkshire/Ayshire border in south west Scotland ending at the town of Irvine in North Ayrshire.)
