Folded neatly into fours
An old paper clip secured
Touched by hands; yours
You'd built a little bungalow
Many long long years ago
Now I know that address
I always wanted to know
Lot 232 Bayview Road
Down in North Geelong
You sold it for £600
It went for a song...
You'd bought 2 massive boxes
From the old Ford Motor Co
Filled with packing crates
"Temporary bungalow" it states
"On property; 2 rooms"
These were our home
You proudly told me
Built by you alone...
In memories I stand
At the top of the hill
Overlooking Corio Bay
These linger still
One day I'd like to again see
This piece of land; so free
Empty of other homes; back then
Just once; dear dad; amen
