Bruce Long

Forty years is such a time
To let yourself be true and kind
Forty years in marraige though
Can be misconstrued as woe
...

This lady of grandeur who came to see all
Has passed through our lives without a bugle call
Her love for the poor man and all it entails
Has left us in silence as she had to fall.
...

This land so far away from home
Is like Scotland on a frosty morn
Its barrenness is plain to see
As Falkland Islanders will agree
...

There's a country, far away
Whose people fight for life
The problem with this country, though
Is no one knows whos right
...
