Australia Day 2018

Australia is for freedom
And a chance to live in peace
We stand shoulder to shoulder together 
And not for giving grief
For we are daughters and sons 
Under the Southern Cross
Inheritors of ANZAC
Proud and true knowing what it cost
Australia you bloody beauty!!

No we are not perfect..Many of our fioebears Came in chains themselves they wanted better Yet had their view on life shaped by injustice Many of them..' Neverthless the Aussie spirit was born and we Strove to change on the whole, I will stand for Australia day, with those who yearn for better Each heart spirit and soul' Good on'ya Paul!!
