Only three times in their lives
Visited their families
Told of this wide brown land
Joyfully they travelled
Over many thousands of miles
To hug and kiss their parents
To hold them in their hands
The photos tell the stories
Of the happiness that flowed
As they revisited their childhood
Experienced love that glowed
Making up for lost the years
Making up for those lonely times
Missing their dear families
Left behind in the old homeland
In 1978, 1983, and 1988
They flew over the oceans
Flew over desert sands
Travelling so much faster
Than when they left those lands
Even more joyful was their return
To this beautiful Australia
Downunder; surrounded by white sands
