The Burns in Me

The Burns in Me

Tonight is Burns night
I have no haggis to devour 
yet, in my living room the bagpipes shall play 
of Scottish roots I have my grandmother to thank 
she is dead, yet her blood flows within my very veins 
Burns night is here 
I shall dance, I shall be merry 
I shall read out loud the Burns
of which I have proudly inherited.

Do think that is where the bard in you comes from, the very name, like a poem, an incantation?

I'll take that as a huge compliment if you will allow such, me the bard? I am truly charmed by this. 🌹Thank you dear Rory, I believe that we certainly have to have a certain fire within us to write, that's for sure. 🌹
