Cuimhnich Air Na daoine o’n d’tha’inig thu.



Remember the people from who you came
For this life would just not be the same
Had they not come and lived before
I would not be able to write more.
For those who lived in peace, trouble & strife
I would not be here, having a life.
Blessed forebears lovingly remembered
Researched remembered fanning memory’s embers,
In the present, a gift for the future,
Families’ traditions for future generations nurtured.
