 ASOP'S poem or thought for today

   
 
Welcome to Australia
 
 

You've come from Indonesia, the country of your birth
to settle in Australia and discover this nations worth.
You will not discover anything, unless you want to be
a participating member in this land of sun and sea.

There are many who live amongst us, who really never find
this land as nearly glorious as the one they left behind.
There are many amongst them, that are no strangers to this place,
They have lived here for ages but turn away their face.

You may see a diverse grouping, amongst this nefarious band;
But that is no excuse; you need to make a stand.
And if you do so truthfully, you will find and finally see
That this large land Australia; is a land of opportunity.

WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA!
