How Could I Not Love Australia

My best years behind me old age of me ahead And eventually i too will be one of the dead But i do feel lucky as lucky can be To live in Australia this Land good for me The wonderful wildlife i see every day Words to describe them i do not have to say The marsupials of day and the marsupials of night In Australia the garden of Nature's delight The birds of Australia an amazing sight Of such beautiful colors when seen in the sunlight How could i not love Australia with so much to see And Nature's beauty everywhere around me No shortage of space for to travel about In this vast and this beautiful Land of the South The history of it's first people is so very old Of the Land of the gum and the wattle the green and the gold The years telling on me i have outlived my prime And i am becoming one more victim of time And though i am from elsewhere i do love sunshine And the lifestyle Down Under it does suit me fine.
