I sent you a firefly,
showed him the way,
watched as his light faded slow

Off to the north
his illumined display,
carried my heart in its glow

So you would know,
watching this night,
as he flies in from above

All that I feel,
shines in your light,
*you are the one that I love
Good night Beautiful
Are migrants proud Australians?
Our nation based on immigration,
One polyglot meld of humanity,
To Australia show fidelity,
Our nation of peaceful tolerance,
People from Earth's shifting sands,
Living here in our Great Southern Land,
Deployment should not be our dance,
Nothing wrong with loyalty,
Patriotism our children's legacy,
---Great Southern Land,
All welcome to be Australians!
Inspired by a newspaper headline. Feedback welcome.
Gaining another
Could it be a brother?
To bring us such great joy

A pleasant surprise
We should not ignore

Wether it be a boy or a girl
May their lives be fulfilled in this world
For The bond you'll create will be endless

From fighting over toys to building forts
Having a sibling is the best thing next to Christmas!
When I ran away from you
It was not because I wanted to
It was not because I hated you
It was simply, it was these
The look in your eyes
I could not take it any more
So I ran away not knowing to where
Imagine that, only your eyes
Made me to run away
These is your story and I
If you could stop the eyes
I could stop running away
I don’t want to be tortured by this
So listen to me closely please
All I want is you  to stop the eyes
And I want your love and peace
The things I wanted the most
was never beyond fear.
