My vision splendid


Scent of eucalypts
Whistling whisper of the wind
This is my country

 Who is that laughing?
It is the kookaburra
I am home again

 Kangaroos jumping
Eagles soaring overhead
Silence of the bush

 Sky is wide and blue
The sun warms my heart and soul
My vision splendid

 You glance up at me
Tanned Shiela grinning now
You're my everything

 Note:
"Vision splendid" is from the poem "Clancy of the Overflow" by Banjo Paterson
"Shiela" is Australian slang for pretty girl (Yes, it is spelt that way)

    "This is my country" indeed, in every sense (pun intended). This is a fine vision.
