Sunrise, Sunset, Night, Day

Yesterday I walked from Angaston to Nuriootpa with my dogs and back. Set me to thinking about a time when I was travelling with my dogs about Australia and how far we walked.

Walk this brown land Australia
Keep a close watch on your heart
This land soon grabs hold

A tie that binds you to this country
I've traveled this land
I've walked this land
You can not let go

Australia your mine, I can not let go
You belong to us all, Australia
When I'm alone at night
I know I am safe here in Australia

Sunrise, Sunset, Night and Day
Keep your mind on the colours
This land brings to your heart
A glow I've known many times
Walking this brown land Australia

You've got a way with you  Australia
You keep us tied to you from the oceans to the land
We can not hide
This land grabs hold
And will not let you go

This is about the love for a country

I would love to visit Australia. I would stay and make my home. Beautiful poetry for your home and a land still free of land and hope. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

I grew to love Australia more and more while traveling it in a campervan with my two dogs a few years ago. Led me to thinking a great deal about the life my Dad and his family had in the bush growing up and the tales told. Traveling Australia in a campervan with two dogs an experience I will never forget.

You were lucky. Good to travel with the dogs and see your world.
