A funny thing happened the other day when we peeked through our doors.
Somehow,
our backyard had grown more radiant than before.
Rubbed my eyes, couldn't believe what I saw.
Your ancient beauty felt new to me.
Australia, my home.
This place that means...more.
From indoors, I saw the great outdoors having a rest,
the roos prepping for the return of their guests.
As we wonder
and wander,
hungry to explore...
..under twinkling stars
with no shoes,
we raise a glass to what you are.
Australia.
Never knew I could be homesick
for a place I never left.
As you spring to life again,
we're reunited
with each and every step.
