My Heart Is Like A Velvet Glove
by INGRID de KLERCK
My heart is like a velvet glove
That seeks the hand of thee,
And in the search of perfect fit
Brought many to their knee.
So rugged art thou, love of mine,
But tender is thine hand,
That fits into my velvet glove
To make a pair, so grand.
This poem was inspired by one of Ayrshire’s finest sons, Robert Burns.
