Its a poem about my families yearly fishing trips to sligo.
we’d pack our bags and travel light
we’d drive for hours in break of light
we’d pitch are tents and rig our gear
we’d made it here for one more year
we’d fish the seas and flowing streams
for that one big salmon of our dreams
I’d sit and watch my father cast
as once he done with his father past
we’d fish for miles and hours on end
in calm pools were fast rapids end
we’d cast our lines in swollen streams
to catch that salmon of our dreams
we’d pack are gear and light the fire
and talk of fish we so desire
we would wake at crack of dawn
and stumble down were salmon spawn
we’d leave this place and it’s streams
and still no salmon of our dreams
when we come back that following year
we will pitch our tents and rig our gear
