My Bonnie Lassie



Posted: Wednesday, April 01, 2009

by David Pekrul

She's a bonny of a lassie,
With her love I am consumed,
She is standing in the valley,
Where the purple heather blooms.I can see her from the mountain,
As I'm marching off to war,
For the bagpipes they are playing,
Is a sound I can't ignore.

I am off to do my duty,
Though I really want to stay,
But my country says it needs me,
So I have to go away.

Will she be there on the morrow,
When from battles I return?
Will she welcome me with gladness,
From the fields of my sojourn?

If I die before returning,
Send a message to my love,
I will see her in the valley,
As I look down from above.

David Pekrul was born in New Westminster, B. C. Canada.

He wrote his first poem in February, 2004, as an Anniversary card for his wife, Linda. Being rather pleased by the results of his first attempt, he wrote a second one, then another and another. He soon realized that he was in love with words.

The pictures that his words paint may not always be pretty, but they are pictures worth viewing, for he writes about the world around him, whether they be things good, bad or otherwise. He also writes about family, nature, God and faith.

His first poetry book, "Parts Of The Sum Volume One" has just been published and can be found at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3145051

David makes his home in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with his wife Linda and spoiled pup, Tiki.
