A FAR OFF VOICE

     A FAR OFF VOICE   TIM WILLIAMS   AUGUST 2014

YOU HAD A VOICE, A WONDERFUL VOICE,
I NEVER KNEW THIS, IT HAD NO FAME HERE,
NOTHING WAS WRITTEN OF IT.

YOU TOOK YOUR VOICE AWAY, ACROSS AN OCEAN,
FAR ACROSS A SEA, IT WAS WELCOMED THERE,
AND WAS WRITTEN OF.

IT RECRUITED OTHER VOICES, WELSH VOICES,
AND A CHOIR FORMED AROUND IT'S SOUND,
AND LED THOSE VOICES IN HARMONY.

PRIZES WERE WON IN SALTY EISTEDDFOD'S,
IT WAS TALKED ABOUT BY MANY UTAH VOICES,
AND I YOUR GREAT , GREAT, GREAT GRANDSON READ 
OF IT'S FAME TODAY 100 YEARS OR MORE LATER

AND I FELT SUCH A STRONG SENSE OF FAMILY PRIDE.
