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
