Rise Again

Tak oor grund from beneath oor hurdies 

Burn oor birches aside the lough, 

Besmirch hard fecht fur freedom, 

Dictating oor days tae come, 

No from the pint o a gun, 

Fae laws an promises  broken. 

Lees an lees spout forth like watter 

Lives expended as if they dinnae matter, 

Feel the Jacobite spirit again, 

Ready tae fecht like scotsmen again, 

Like warrior poets risen from the glen, 

Fae the mists o the past remember, 

Oor freedom wis wun sending Edward hame, 

Yon wis the past a new war begun noo, 

No wi claymores ,targes an guns, 

This time its ideals an Eton buffers, 

Those who wid sell oor birthrights 

Tae mak us slaves an servile peasants, 

Using stealth ,treachery an unco ither weys 

Rogues they be crooks ,cheats and thieves 

Seeming beyond reproach wi things hidden  

Frae us puir mortals aye they wull dae us doon, 

Sic a time as this tae fecht fur whit is oors 

Naw mair begging fur aa few scraps  

Fae a table fu wi guid things , 

Scraps urny fur us we ur free loons 

Burthit free an deeing we wull be free, 

Ur ye ready tae rise yince agin?

So subjected and not a contemporary
Under another with instructions to carry
Beautiful but waiting to be told to marry
Sound training in skills could also be the story
Embarrassments, liable to cut the calorie
Rushing under pressure, too prone to say sorry
Void of titles are the stories in this dairy
Independence in master’s absence is forgery
Either one works or does nothing in a hurry
Neither should ask questions or make an enquiry
Command taken like soldiers of an infantry
Enslaved totally until sense and will tarry

Raindrops Don'T Remain

R-aindrops don't remain,
A-s days aren't often sunny;
F-rom the time immemorial,
F-alling rain is too ordinary.
L-ife's woes and worries
E-ventually fade away:
E-ven the cold and black
N-ight turns into warm day.

J-ust when the rain falls
A-ll we see is the blue;
D-ay first November morn,
E-veryone knows it's true.

T-rials and tribulations
A-re only temporary;
M-oments of darkest hours
A-re things of the memory.
Y-es, storms are brewing, under the sun they melt;
O-ne thing is undeniable, rain and shine are felt.

L-oneliness and sorrow
A-re creeping deep inside;
D-espite their sad effect
E-ither won't be so wild.
R-apture and happiness shall replace the pain.
A-ll tears shall run dry, raindrops don't remain.

Waiting For the Priceless Reward

L-ight in the sky shines,
O-n February twenty-sixth day; 
R-ain and chill have passed by, 
N-ight shadows fade
A-way.

D-awn is now shining, as the sun slowly rises up; 
E-arly breeze brings joy which nothing can really stop.

L-ook at the rainbow, 
E-ach color is amazing; 
O-range, yellow and green, 
N-ice to have a fine feeling.

A-nother day has broken, 
V-ile weather is over; 
E-vening mist and haze 
L-et the wind clear the air.
L-et me write an acrostic, 
A-llow me to get it done; 
N-ice piece shall bring to you
E-ither laughter or fun.
D-edicate this verse to you, sealed with a warm regard; 
A-iming to inspire your heart in waiting for the priceless reward.

Never Say Surrender

J-ust never say surrender, 
E-ither defend or fight; 
S-tand strong on your ground, 
S-tay shiny and bright. 
Y-ou never say surrender to the formidable foe; 
L-et the opponent lose and suffer sorrow and woe. 

P-repare for the battle 
O-f the spiritual warrior; 
L-et your heart be brave 
I-n upholding divine fervor. 
C-all on the Father above, 
A-sk Him for the victory; 
R-eady your faith for tough war, 
P-reparing for the enemy. 
I-t's time to defend the faith against the false preacher; 
O-pen your mind to the truth taught by the true messenger. 

C-onvert your countrymen, 
A-dding them into the fold; 
L-et them accept the gospel, 
D-oing God's will we uphold. 
E-arnestly keep on going, 
R-acing against the timer; 
O-ctober twenty-second, 
N-ever say surrender.

Erase the Danger Zone

L-et's erase the danger zone, 
I-ncluding the threats within; 
B-efore we fall from grace, 
E-liminate every sin.
R-efrain from wicked ways, 
T-rying to fight the lies; 
Y-es, we ought to realize, God watches from the skies.

M-ove away from evil deeds, 
O-bliterate their domain; 
R-each our journey's end, 
A-nd salvation we'll attain.
D-elete the danger zone, 
O-ur soul shall be in peril; 
S-o let's follow God's command, obeying the Father's will.

H-ear the voice from heaven, 
E-ither ear won't turn deaf; 
R-eceive the clear message, 
N-ot the dark that we have left.
A-im to leave the risky night, 
N-ever save the place of moan; 
D-ay eleventh October morn
E-rase the danger
Z-one.

Choose the Right Way

C-hoose the right way, 
A-nother one is wrong; 
T-ry to be very careful, 
H-oping the road isn't long.
E-ither eye won't turn blind, 
R-ising up from slumber; 
I-t's not time to violate, 
N-ever transgress, never
E-rr.

M-aking the right choice
E-difies your true faith; 
R-emain open listening
T-o God's words so great.
O-ctober twenty-third morn
L-ets the sun brighten the day; 
A-fter leaving the night, beacon takes the dark away.

C-hoose the right way, 
A-nother one is fake; 
S-tay focused on the truth, 
A-nd decision you must make.
W-ith your heart and mind, 
A-lways present when you pray; 
Y-our soul shall be saved, if you choose the right way.

Doorway of the Fold

D-oorway of the fold
I-s none other than the Lord; 
A-ll men must enter into, 
N-egating Him one cannot
A-fford.

P-eople of all walks of life, 
O-n fourteenth morn of May, 
N-ever will they ignore
T-he one and only right way.
E-ver loving is the Father, 
J-ust and merciful too; 
O-nly begotten Son Jesus was sent to save us through.

B-ehold the doorway of the fold, 
A-llow your mind to know; 
R-eceive the clear message, 
R-eturn to God to glow.
I-t's the doorway of the fold, 
E-ither eye won't turn blind; 
N-either ear will turn deaf, 
T-otal peace one can find.
O-pen your heart to the truth, the faith keep and hold; 
S-alvation one can gain through the doorway of the fold.

Lines Oan Pennen

Far tae the North hidden alang Moray coast,
Therr bides a little toon o which yin can boast. 
Wi a rid phone boax in pride o place mak a call tae freends an aa. 
Nae thing tae spile the view ower grey blue sea reflecting azure sky 
Rest yer mind oan Pennans lap bringing a smile tae yer mou'.
Sky ablaze with fire a glow as ancient as the stones
Ancients witnessed this cosmic fire thinking it was the gods ire, 
Hiding within circles of towering stone while druids chanted 
Smiling as they alone knew ,it was the voyage of the sun roon the wurld
Bringing the gift of life making crops grow at summers height.
Stillness settles over the sea and land, lulling all to rest and sleep, 
A flash o siller moon catching and painted by setting sun.   
Now the red of setting sun is painted over the sky,
Segou’s fly hame tae roost oan clifface steep an sheer, 
Till yince again at dawns rise  brichtens the sky again.

Splish, splash said the seagaus  yin tae anither,

Fur whit wull we hae fur oor supper e dey, 

said the ither ,Ah ken lets hae fish, 

Whit again replied the first ane, weel we aa ken that at Pennan ye allus get the 
best fush 

my but yer richt therr ma freen quick afore yon dolphins jin the queue 

C,mon n hurry get therr furst  an gie them the push.



Pennan is the fushing village wherr “Local Hero” wus fulmed.

Faith Is My Decision

F-aith is my decision midst doubt and worry; 
E-ven though temptation is luring me constantly.

B-ut faith is my decision, 
A-s far as I'm concerned; 
R-elieving all my fears, 
Q-uitting not to learn.
U-ntrue faith isn't my choice, 
E-ternal life it will not give; 
Z-one of glorious bliss is built for those who believe.

V-icious lie from false faith
I-s not my decision; 
L-osing trust in the Lord
L-oses the right course of
A-ction.

F-ifth morn October, 
U-nder the faith in the Lord; 
E-ven if hope is flickering, 
N-ever will I disobey His word.
T-o select between heaven and the hellish perdition; 
E-ither eye won't turn blind, faith is my decision.
