Easter 2018 — version 1

Kilbirnie

Gently rising over mountains and hills
the new April morning where birds gently shrill
new born lambs dance closely by mills
as Easter dawns in Kilbirnie

Sacred songs, worship, with words full of praise
in the Barony, chapel and places of faith
Children hunt eggs and voices are raised
as Easter dawns in Kilbirnie

Another ray shines, over those still asleep
shining in light, of spring from the glebe
A baby is born, little feet, mothers weep
as Easter dawns in Kilbirnie

Families do gather for dinner and wine
while others resent it and bitterly whine
cyclists ride bikes, on old railway lines
as Easter dawns in Kilbirnie
