The Ladies From Hell
By: Fee
Aye…
twas a sight to see and hear
the haunting skirl of the pipes
a call announced the arrival
of men called the ladies from hell
Aye…
The enemy would tuck tail
And run from the demon’s cries
when the kilts were hiked
and deadly rifle hammers fell
Aye…
They say they had no fear
at least fear was never shown
these men of our Black Watch
who’s deeds are whispered still
Aye…
They were soldiers one and all
men of Canada’s finest youth
crossed the mountains and the seas
for freedom’s call they had to kill
Aye…
I’m the proud son of one of them
Who fought for God, King and country
He charged beneath the tartan plaid banner
So that the rest of us could live free
AWESOME Honor Sweet Fee, and I love the way you told it! Another easy flow... The Aye... Nice touch!
STAnd Proud! STAND FREE!
Because of them we SEE! and because of YOU! It wouldn't come through....
Stay Positive!
Much love and many happy Blessings, Warrior Purple Lady Sheexooo

I salute your brave father, as well as the son, who carried on in his tradition - well done. A beautiful write honoring his service - hauntingly played "Amazing Grace" in verse - as you know, I am the daughter/sister/cousin/niece of Veterans (the Vidra Honor Guard), as well as a Veteran, myself. Strong military heritage in both our families - brothers in arms, as it were. :)
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
Love ya face Cuz XOXOXO, Rose
