Very emotional poem about Scotland, dear Andy...My oldest son is tenor drum in a Scottisch Pipeband, although he is Belgian. The band became belgian Champion in their category...He loves wearing his kilt and is mad about Scotland. I'll send him your poem and he will be so glad!

CALEDONIA - THE LAND OF MY DREAMS!!!!!
What I think about my beloved Country


Often alone I think of you
rolling mountains covered in a purple haze
both in highlands and lowlands too
running water so pure sparkling bright
making our whisky a natural delight
Caledonia - the land of my dreams

I hear music played from the heart
oh' the sound of pipes and drums
heart racing hairs standing on end
poetry filling my eyes with tears
recited at suppers year after year
in celebration of bards no longer here
Caledonia - the land of my dreams

Men wearing tartan skirts with nothing underneath
dancing between swords at highland gatherings
playing games testing their manhood
eating haggis a pudding often misunderstood
porridge,shortbread, salmon and oatcakes
quality food that is for sure
Caledonia - the land of my dreams

History remembered with pride
Mary Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie
Wallace, Culloden and Nessie too
some myths, some true
castles, lochs, bridges and glens
places where lassies are called hen
where houses are often butt un bens
people answering with ah' ken
Celtic blood running through my veins
makes me glad I am alive and living here
Caledonia - the land of my dreams

You are more poetic than you are thinking, Maryse...This is beautiful , simple poetry and gives a lively image of the country you're living in. Sounds very Japanese to me and I have the impression to be there...Thank you!

Life is just one big garden
My thoughts on Equality!!!


Life is just one big garden
filled with many different plants
all trying their best to survive
some are ground covering gems
others weeds strangulating the masses
and depriving them of the nourishment
that allows them to blossom into a beautiful
bouquet within shared plots
the strong looking after the weak
the young respecting the old
where they are tolerant of each others
environment and; the need to exist
learn about each others growth and culture
what nutrients they all need to survive
in close proximity to one another
where they are given food from the same pot
where the flowers are the colour of the rainbow
learning to bloom in equal measure
in a place where they are all beautiful
not shunned because they are slow to blossom
or were not given the right start as seedlings
nurtured into strong upright plants
I would love living in a garden like this and sharing
the love of the gardener I call God almighty
who started it all in a place called Eden
with two plants he called Adam and Eve

Let this garden flourish for the sake of mankind!!!
