Poem Title:
Poem
Soon will dawn Australia day.' A date on the calender some Pages away..Its the first poem from me, on this holiday In the past I was not one (for its celebration lets say?) Yet Decades have sifted me.' Experience has shifted me.! I Feel for the past though I will say.' It has been a hard go! and Most challenging for the convicts; and early settlers in.' For Aboriginal people, it was quite harrowing, bringing also Much suffering.' Yet this is not a new thing' nations fall And rise and sll the the while the gum leaves sigh.' All The while Ulurù still stands 'or Ayers rock' both names are In this land.' And dreams of people, all part of that' from the coast the mountains, to city folk, and 'the great outback' this day is But another one, under the strong Australian sun.' Yet it Can be viewed as another chance.' Another take.? A look a Glance? at a country rich in in generosity, of the battler spirit It instilled in me.' Can it be a day that will challenge our minds? A day to stand together.' Let negative past deeds Subside.' Reach out to all Aussies..Look to your values Stay strong, give wide berth of politicans' raise your flag Sing your songs.' Take care of your elders, and encourage The young' build up the nation now, hold your borders' show the world. Get things really moving along.!!
