Soul of a Saint, Life of a Life

This poem you now read
Is of a wonderful man
A brother of old
From a far away land

He stands for so many
On this planet we call earth
To their hearts he was taken
A man of worth

Georgia, Malta
Russia, the Ukraine
To all they admire
This difference of men

In the country of Alba
The Kingdom of the Scot's
When the Saltire flies
We forget him not

On the 30th of November
To the Scot's so true
It's his day 
Our patron, Saint Andrew

Very good I liked your poem. I only started writing poems since my wife died in 2009 I can relate to rhyming poems better than others. As you can tell from my poems. A lot of poems I don’t understand and I would hate to give a wrong comment. I want my poems to honor my wife long after I’m gone. Thank you

Dear James, I do believe you named one of your sons Andrew, am I correct? He certainly is an unforgettable historical figure and you honor him with your wonderful poem! Love, carolyn
