The Southern Cross Of Australia Poem by Paul Warren

I like to see the flag waving in the breeze
The way it flutters sure does to me please
The blue over the Southern Cross sticks out
And I know what the history of the Union Jack is about

As Australians we know what freedom costs for us all
As we remember those who fell defending its call
This Great Southern Land parched and brown
Brings forth a harvest known the world round

On this Australia Day 2019 National Pride is brought forth
And we know what Australia means for us and what it's worth
Of all the symbols that our blue flag conjures with pride
It's the Southern Cross shining brightly under which we abide.
