the Cotswold Order of Druids
profoundly they agree
one of our brethren
named above
his popularity
a big seal of approval
honourable and true
nothing is too much for him
as for character he is true
a mighty man in so many ways
a pillar of the Order
despite his difficulties
he is here
crossing many a border
driving miles to see us all
all taken in his stride
a face of smiles and happiness
and his degree of pride
he makes For a splendid fellow
in his robes aside Rollrights
carries his sword his warriorship
he really sets his sights
on forming up the circle
and giving it his all
dignified and august
and compared to me quite tall
Whatever the kind of weather
nick is out there, he
is heroic and ennobled
its where he loves to be
his ailments do not help him
they clearly test him but we see
an aura of pure caring
and sharing and daring actually.
He is a man of distinction
a druid through and through
respected as an elder
its what all Druids feel
our sisters and our brothers
each entirely real.
Being near the standing stones
the nobility
the ancient pedigree
the wheel of life
the seasons
thats now how we be
part of all we wish for
Begotten and beyond
the vibrancy of being
within the Druids bond
Dear Nick its love apparent
the compassion that you show
always so respectful
your aura it does glow
Its humbling in many ways
to know how hard you try
unobtrusive
everytime I See you
which is why
you so walk your talk
my Dear friend
