THE KINGDOM OF FIFE.
Time spent in and around Ladybank, Fife, and seeing plenty that my Dad would have seen in his childhood years. This poem was printed in the Fife Leader in August 2003.

THE KINGDOM OF FIFE ©

3.1.02

It’s pleasing to be where you’ve been,
And to see what you’ve seen,
The fields of farmers corn,
The cottage in where you were born,
Those Lanes with walls of stone,
Did you run or wander and roam.
Could you see the smoke from the railway,
Rise over the Kingdom of Fife,
Have you stood on Ladybank station,
Was it happy your childhood life.
The Lomond Hills stand high,
As high as the Scottish sky.
Is that where you wanted to be,
Did you want to climb them to see,
North to the Firth of Tay,
The church of Collessie or Cupar,
And out to St. Andrews bay.
Did you ever ride out to the ocean,
Watch the fishing boats mooring at Crail,
Was the sea your only tomorrow,
How soon were you likely to sail.
Your bloodline runs on now in England,
Bennet Kennedy roots lie in Fife,
We honour the land we are living,
But The Kingdoms a part of our life.

Your son,
Robbie
