Ode To The Socceroos
The Socceroos are bathed in justified glory,
So now the humble poet will tell their good story,
They played with great passion, commitment and soul,
And Cahill scored two sensational goals.
Despite the humidity, the heat and the rain,
They battled like true Aussies again and again,
And though the results were quite painful to bear,
Their fine noble efforts outweighed those low cares.
Though not victorious, they conquered our hearts,
And made us all feel we were together in part,
For there is so much more honour in gallant defeat,
Than to win by ten with smiling conceit.
We could see on the faces of those who had won,
The relief of opponents whose fortunate time had come,
Some say the game is about the ball hitting the net,
But the best of it all, is when a nation’s hearts are all met.
We thank those young men for filling our day,
With the best of good feeling, that made so many of us say,
You represented us all, whether of high or low station,
And made us feel proud of this magnificent nation.
