The Call of the Bagpipes

The call of the bagpipes brings merriment and joy,
making even the somberest of moments bearable,
even when blaring at several decibels,
The bagpipes speak of stealth and strength,
perservering in times that are inclement,
The mirth they spew, commands attention,
and respect, bringing sentimental tears to
peoples' eyes as they remember from whence they came....

Margaret, people here often use bagpipes at their weddings. They do seem to command attention and respect. Your poem reminded me of the historic strength of the Scottish people. Very nicely composed! Love, Carolyn
