AUSTRALIA
I fell in love with you when my wheels rolled into you
You gave me a "G'Day Mate" bear hug
I showered in your love rain
Your warm summer embrace was my red carpet path
I felt 'roo free
I drove through your protecting eyes
You didn't care about my wheelchair-dress
I knew I found my sanctuary home
You invited me for tea
I felt like a princess in your dance
We flew just like Superman and Lois
You wiped the ashamed smile off my face when my feet were wheels
You gave me your freedom busses and trains
We swivel dance through your Pavlova-languages
Your soft-feather words cruise through my tormented soul.
I was intrigued by your Sydney Hobart Yacht race
Your voluminous Outback waved at me, invited me
Your Great Barrier Reef french-kissed my thoughts
I drank your tropical openness
I bathed in your golden friendliness
In vast valleys of helping hands I dwelt
When demons of old age plundered and destroyed my house
You sent Renaissance angels to rescue me
In valleys of despair and heartbreak we walked hand in hand
With golden coins you washed me
Dressed me when I was homeless and poor
You opened my mind's door
Magic was in your hands
You gave me a treasure casket
You helped me find my adult-self
You gave me my emancipation key
You asked me to give my truth sword
I'm Alice in Wonderland
I'm wearing your opalesque wedding ring
I love you like no other
Will you close your eyes to our blossom-love
Will you divorce me
A decision card was given to you
I want to sleep in your Sunshine Coast-arms
Give birth to your children
I want to give you all my diamond-treasures
Never asking anything back
I'll fight for you like no other
I'll die for you if you ask me to
Australia, you'll my soul heart country
