Gleniffer Braes — version 2

Paisley

The Gleniffer Braes

Some days the braes do speak to me
defending Truth and Love
like Angels climbing Jacob´s Ladder
to and from Above

Those days she comes to walk with me
her scent of roses bloom
Remembering the Son´s great Love
and His returning soon

With walks so clear in meadows plain
o´er fields of grass and green
stretching to horizon´s line
and blue skies in between

Other days the braes do seem
an obstacle of view
which stop me seeing naught but grey
and leave me feeling blue

Tis these weeks the hardest are
when shadows mark my way
when people´s words like arrows fly
and hinder all my days

To search for good in every thought
dispels the darkest night
for through the words and tempers flared
lie Angels in disguise

Mother take us in your Thought
to bless us every day
Guide to your Blessed Son
the straight and narrow way
