Happy Australia Day
G’day my Aussie
friend. I wanted you to know
That though you’ve
travelled far away you are thought of, does it show?
I love my sunburnt
country. It sits within my heart,
And when I have
ventured elsewhere I feel it when we part.
The eucalypts, the
blossom trees, the beaches and the ranges,
The animals, our
magic birds, I love to show to strangers.
From north to south,
and east to west
No matter what you
seek, adventure, fun or simply rest,
There is something
here for all of us, oceans, mountains, sun and snow
Rivers, jungles,
rainforest too. So much to see wherever
you go.
The classic foods
like pav and lamb, our awesome toast and vegemite.
We have a land so
full of riches, an Aussie native’s birthright.
As you have left our
salty shores, and serve now far away
I wrote this little ditty for you,
it’s just my humble way
To remind you of your
home and wish you a Happy Australia Day
