Australia - The Southern Cross Poem by Paul Warren

Australia - The Southern Cross



Southern Cross how clear you shine
Above a homeland forever mine
The sacred light guiding our way
In our hearts to forever stay

When Australians in wander lust
Know they will travel back as a must
Keep kindly those thoughts of home
When we return in the end we roam

It's the first sight of home they would see
As ANZAC warriors returning in homily
When they smell gum leaves on the sacred ground
See your light when home was found.

a bit too much sewing in that flag, I reckon, Paul. We'd have to get it made in Bangladesh.

Very nice poem. I used to enjoy seeing the Southern Cross in Brazil. They call it Cruzeiro do Sul.
