Poem - In The Country By Lee-Anne Bright

In The Country

Home is where your heart is

Or so people keep telling me.

When I look into my heart

I can easily see

That my heart is in the country

The bush, the scrub

Whatever it maybe.

 I love the station life

The people who belong to it

The barking dogs

The utes and boots

And scruffy old hats

That’s the place where I’ll be

Riding on the horses

Or in a beaten up old ute

Out on a water run

Fixing fences and mending tanks

Doing the same things they did

When this life first begun.

Working at the dam

When the neighbours come around

Leaning on the fence

Or squatting on the ground

Talking of the prices

And how far they are down

This is the life I want to lead

Right in the heart

Of this unique land

That’s where I’ll be

Kelpie at my side

In the scrub, in the bush

In the country.
