Song for a Bonnie Bairn

My grand children delight me. From the youngest to the eldest I am overwhelmed by the wonder of being “Pa”. My Mum would sing to us when we were young; songs with a Scots lilt and accent. I remember especially her singing to my little sister and seeing the love in Mum’s eyes. It may be that this song is similar in intent - singing to those I love dearly, with a little Scots lilt and accent. Think of those bonnie bairns you love as you listen to this song for a bonnie bairn.
