Birthdays - Willie Of Blantyre Poem by Paul Warren

Birthdays - Willie of Blantyre

In 1956 Willie the man was born
To a strong family proudly formed
In Scotland of the rampant lion herald
His early years in the sacred land meld

Of hardy folk from Blantyre town grand
With fiery blood of Caledonian tartan
Now a native of the bright Australian sun
With a family of sons and grandchildren

The 60 years pass so quickly in time
Each moment a memory so fine!
