AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Were the old days
So black and white
Or is it only that
Time drifts to
A paradise ~
Islands of memory
Where the seasons
And the weather are
Always
Picture perfect

As my Granny used to say, 'don't let 'em fool ya,the good 'ol days they weren't so good.' But in her last days I sat with her constantly and saw that the future was bright for her, she was talking to her Mother. She was 93 years old when she was born. She painted a brilliant picture for me of the future.
