Scotland the Brave

This is an interesting question
 born in city of Glasgow
 moved at 6 weeks to Ayrshire
 then 1990 to Renfrew I go

 So where is my home?
 being brought up in Ayrshire
 my formative years are there
 so memories are ever on fire

 Now based in Renfrew
 a small quiet town
 once home to a airport
 now no planes come down

 So Scotland is my nation
 born and brought up in this land
 here the covenanters braved the foe
 till death they did stand

This is a great little poem, Gordon, I really enjoyed it. While visiting at your site I notice that you write rhyming poetry as to I. I really enjoy this and find it much harder to write than the other forms, which usually express someones thoughts as free base writing. Great job, keep up the good work.
