So Happy Ulster Day to one and all. A wee poem in honour of the day
The 28th Of September
The day is near upon us,the feelings' growing strong
My heart's once more in Ulster the land where I belong
The flag's still flying proudly as it did in days of yore
As we remember with pride and honour those stirring days once more
Ulster Day and the Covenant are stilled recalled with pride
By Ullish folk at home,and across the oceans wide
Wherever we may be,in a moment of quiet thought
Let us remember our forefathers,and freedom so dearly bought
Our comrades on the mainland together did combine
In their thousands upon thousands they came forward then to sign
For King and for Covenant and for loyal Ulster too
They pledged themselves again to the old red white and blue
So we will take the time once more to stop and pause
To remember those who on this day long ago, rallied to the cause
Prepared to defend their beliefs what 'ere before them lay
That is why we still remember...this very special day.
