Hello my lovely girls
Mummy sent me your entry for the poem competition Freya.
I have decided to post it here on the blog for posterity. I've just looked up the meaning of that word:
posterity
noun
- all future generations of people.
Family and friends. Here is Freya's poem.
Young and Free and Searching for Peace
Australians all let us rejoice
for we are
going to Singapore girls!
It will be hot and sticky and we will make new friends who are
Young and free
Will we really be able to swim in the pool every day?
We've golden soil and wealth for toil
It's time to pack up girls
back to
Our home is girt by sea
We will see our family and
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
and the bush
Of beauty rich and rare
kangaroos, koalas and cockatoos
In history's page let every stage
wattle, gum trees and bottle brush
Advance Australia Fair
look at the big blue sky!
In joyful strains then let us sing
We're home!
Advance Australia Fair
Beneath our radiant southern cross
We will fly
We'll toil with hearts and hands
and go to Switzerland girls!
To make this Commonwealth of ours
the flight was long
but we survived
Renowned of all the lands
for cheese and chocolate
For those who come across the seas
Skiing or skating today?
Je veux faire du ski Papa!
We've boundless plains to share
Since
every
single
friend
at my birthday party
was from a different country
With courage let us all combine
to find a way to live in peace
To Advance Australia Fair
Trouver de la paix
In joyful strains than let us sing
I miss Australia
Advance Australia Fair
La Suisse me manquera
Advance Australia Fair
et trouver de la paix.
