Australia - South Australia, My Home Poem by Paul Warren

Do you feel the north wind blow
As it guides your way home to go
For those South Aussies who do roam
From their Southern Cross sky filled home

Do you smell the eucalyptus leaves
As they fill your lungs to please
Do you see the wedge tail eagle
When it soars in a sky without equal

The mighty River Murray flows
In golden sunlight a paradise knows
The lapping gulf waters on golden sands
Bring us seafood in such great demands

And we know when we reach our place
It is like nowhere on earth can displace
For free people who have not known
A conquering fist as it is thrown

South Australia in its golden glory
Remains for us in our personal story
When the world turns in its way
Where else would you be today.
