Same Country -New Horizons

All that was lost is now forgotten, the pain of the stagnant past fading A new world, a new city, quite familiar yet different and stronger A more spiritual people with a similar accent, yet more caring Whereas before I'd look at the masses and feel challenged Now the self-contained South Australians have restored my faith in the country as a whole. Are the people so wonderful because orchards are plentiful Is it because the country's best vineyards are all flourishing here With such a vast distance between Metropolitan cities ,television glues the links. I like this City with its dinky masonry and many steeples , I like this State with its compassionate people.
