I am Aussie and extremely proud to be
For Auss shaped me into my authenticity
She nourished me and helped me grow
To become the me that you all know!
She taught me independence and she made me strong
She gave me courage to seek out in life where I belong
Auss is a land of endless forms and many brilliant colours
Her shapes and vibrancy are exceptional; unlike any others!
They way of Aussie ‘sheilas’ and ‘blokes’ is definitely unique
Discover this with those you meet and talk to on the street
Aussies use Aussie Words like ‘Crikey’, ‘Stone the Crows’ and ‘Mate’
To shake hands or share a beer with a stranger an Aussies doesn’t hesitate!
Auss is the land whose motto is “G’Day Mate She’ll be Right ”
Aussies never cower or step back from challenge in fear or fright!
The indigenous people of Auss have powerful stories to tell
And when they tell their stories they do it incredibly well
The Aussie Aborigines know the knowledge and magic of DREAM TIME
And this magic offers wisdom to each of us and all mankind
Auss has many sparkling facets like a well cut priceless gem of many carats
And to top it off Auss has great wildlife and a selection of vibrant parrots!
To portray a complete picture of Auss in simple verse and rhymes
Would take far too many words and fill far too many lines!
But let me shout it out one more time loudly and strong
I’m a proud Aussie through and through and will be my whole life long!!!!!
