Through My Eyes A Collection of Poems

Foreword by Fred Corlett

“It’s a long trail a-winding”. That is an old saying, but here it is a pun, because Ian Traill’s Chinese wife is called Long Weina. It is indeed a long trail from Scotland to Australia, and then to China; from being a champion powerlifter to being an English teacher in China and missionary.

Such is the life of my good friend, Ian Traill.

Born in Scotland, he migrated to Australia with his family when he was two years old. He was not an academic person, but he always had a flair for engineering, from the time he was a young child.

Ian is a strong man. He represented Australia in powerlifting and could have become a World Champion had not his life been dramatically changed by a living experience with the Lord Jesus Christ.

After a disastrous marriage where he lost everything, he came to China to teach English. It was in China that he met his lovely wife, Weina. They have a beautiful little girl named, Li Ya.

The poems in this volume reflect the trials, triumphs and delights of his life, both before and after his coming to Christ. Some of them talk of his love for Christ, some of his love for his children, some for his wife, some of his love for his country, Australia, and some of his love for his adopted country, China.

Ian is a strong man, sometimes gruff, but with a soft heart. Tread carefully as you read these poems. You are treading on holy ground – seeing the heart of a man with a tough exterior, but one who can be moved to tears by the pains of other people.
