[hometext] => Aussie Mateship is something special and deserves yet another bit of bush poetry.
[bodytext] => There are many things that mattered, as I’ve strode the path of life The first goal kicked, the wedding day, my own child’s cry, my special wife But up amongst the highlights, of nigh on sixty years Have been the friends who’ve come and gone, or simply shared a beer. For nothings quite so precious, as a friend when the need is great Who simply cares about you, just because you are a mate. Who’s always standing at your door, the moment they hear your call To give whatever’s asked, ready to give their all. I’ve friends I’ve known for many years, that I never could replace And friendships newly kindled, that ever smiling face There are those who passed quite quickly, through the years my life has run But left me better off for knowing, each and every one. Now that the years are passing and my hair is turning grey And one reflects on what one’s done to pass the time each day I count my lucky stars each night, for the hand that I received Those paths I’ve crossed, that played a part, in all that I’ve achieved.
