Activities of Michael Cochrane

In the gardens of our hearts where we sow the seeds of love, let us plant and grow in peace through the windows of our eyes, show ourselves to each person we meet in our journey.

An old man with wornout shoes, huddled in a old closed shop doorway, dog at his lap sleeps. Dreaming memories that fall like raindrops on the wet pavement.
Nearby the Merchant city people drinking lattes, pose and take selfies, they don't see the homeless, selfish, with hearts of stone.
The years have gone slowly by when he lost his love, he clutches her photograph in his hand, tears run down his face, just another lost soul of the human race.

Remembering our loved ones as the evening light is fading, I sit on the shore thinking of the old songs that my parents, grannie, and family sung, of Ireland and Scotland, they are now together. But very much in my heart a fountain of love that flows in my very soul.

Grandma Today is your birthday but you're not here to celebrate! You left us many years ago and constant tears it does create! I still find it so hard to accept that both you and grandpa are gone, But in my heart I'll always keep you my entire life long! The two of you had such an influence in my life. without you. I wouldn't be who I am, I'd be an entirely different man! The love you had given me let me grow up with such a smile! And I hope you're looking down on me and see that I carry you in memory along every mile! As I travel through this life I'll always remember you. As I try my best to as well be like you in every thing that I do! You were such great people and loved by all! I'd do anything to be able to make just one more call. But now I can talk to you only in my prayer. And I know you always hear me and you still care. For I have the two greatest angels watching over me. And so I pray to you to say that I still and always will carry you in my heart, and forever you'll consume and be the greatest part! !
I love the two of you more than I could ever explain! Even though that love caused tears to rain! Enough I could fill the whole room, but because of who you were I'll never feel gloom!

In the heart of the land where rivers flow, Native tribes gather, their spirits glow, whispers of the old ones, dance in the trees, carried by winds that rustle with ease.
From coastlines where the ocean meets the sky, to the mountains that touch clouds soaring high. Each tribe is a garden, a story to share, a tapestry woven with cultures so rare. The Haudenosaunee keepers of peace, with council of elders, honor the land, in longhouses built and sowing wisdom to all the people.
The Cree of the North with songs in the night under blankets of stars their voices take flight.
The Salish with art etched in wood, carried stories of salmon of life, with totem poles rising transcending time.

As I row my boat on the loch, I think of my love who waits for me. My heart is hers for evermore, as the snow falls and the winds blow, her eyes are green as the hills, I sing my song of love as I go ashore as the sunlight fades.

The clouds parted and I saw a crescent moon as the sunset set, on the ghostly cheftian of our clan stood proud in his plaid and tartan. Brave Jacobite warriors who gave so much in deeds, and battles. Never forgotten, freedoms call, in blood at Culloden they lay now in the clay they can be heard when the evening mist comes down from the hills.

Than the Sea,
Higher
Than the Sky

Go down to the shore to see the waves glide so sweetly beneath the sky filled with birds, singing.
When I see my sweetheart with her smiling face sparkling green eyes my heart skips a beat. We walk together in love.

Down the waterside the highland river flows to the loch. You shall be my dearie. Spring has come and will you walk away with me over the meadows. My fair one my dearest love.
