“Flag of
Stars”
Emotions surely can be stirred when our flag is
hoisted high
as a tear begins to trickle from a true-blue
‘Aussie’s’ eye.
Anzacs stormed the beaches under our Australian Flag
at times a tattered piece of cloth, a blood stained,
dirty rag.
Symbolic of true courage away from ‘Aussie’ shores
at battle fronts and beaches in others far flung
wars.
The Union Jack reminds us of our initial history,
Southern Cross is rampant, signifying our place for
all to see,
a large and brightly shining star stands for all
Australian States
heraldry important to most ‘Aussies’ and their mates.
Emotions surely can be stirred when our flag is
hoisted high,
a tear begins to trickle from every true-blue
‘Aussie’s’ eye.
At Commonwealth and Olympic, sporting battles
regularly,
contested from within our shores or far across the
sea
our athletes strive to be the best, to hold aloft the
‘Gold’
courage is symbolic for others to behold.
The Union Jack reminds us of our initial history,
the Southern Cross is rampant, our place for all to
see,
a large and brightly shining star stands for all
Australian States
comradeship important to all ‘Aussies’ and their
mates.
Emotions surely can be stirred when our flag is
hoisted high
and tears begin to trickle from every true-blue
‘Aussie’s’ eye.
