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.
