My Australia

I soar through the skies beating my wings harder than ever,
As I swoop down to land on the great 'down under'.
I see koalas and possums clinging to the gum trees,
With their heads high up to enjoy the morning breeze,
I then gave them a gift which consists of a feather.

I fly further and land down with care,
Opposite a house in Town Hall square.
I look down and stare at the people with their child,
Feeling joy of how they are at school with free education.
I take one last look and spread my wings,
And leave the free country,the one with the diversity of cultures,
The land 'down under',now known as Australia.
