We live in a country of vast open spaces,
A land of many facets,
From dry and dusty deserts.
Also, with beautiful beaches, plus snow-capped hills,
A home to many races.
We must learn to live in harmony,
Learning about love, not war.
There is nothing to be gained by living in the past.
And doing the same as before!
There is a time coming.
When the desert will bloom like a rose,
A wonderful time of repose.
To appreciate this great south land,
It needs to be seen from above.
Anyone who has observed it,
From a plane window,
Will understand what I am saying,
And say, this is home, the place I love!
And because it is home,
We should treat it with respect.
Is this what we see at the present time?
I doubt it, most are too busy!
Tapping on their mobile phone!
Living in a land of vast open spaces,
Should fill us with pride,
Which should show on our faces!
