Dinna Fash Yersel'

Know, slings and arrows of winter hold sway

And banish springtide with foul overcast,

Which looses sky lakes akin judgment day.

Be not annoyed, this wretchedness won’t last!

The title to my verse is a Scottish Gaelic turn of phrase, which has familiar echoes in resilient people throughout the world…don’t worry, be happy…and this, too, shall pass away. Our prayers go out to all suffering the ravages of recent nationwide weather calamities.
