 All Australians stand united In this time of unspeakable grief Images beyond our comprehension We all look on in disbelief I am so proud to be Australian As we all join hands and pray We won't forget the lives we lost On that sad and painful day Through sheer loyalty and strength We stand together as one For we refuse to be defeated After all that has been done As sure as the sun keeps setting Out across the wide blue sea We will never give up our quest For our country to remain free  I am in motion |

'...As sure as the sun keeps setting Out across the wide blue sea We will never give up our quest For our country to remain free...' Now that's the fighting spirit!! Sue, I heard there was an explosion in Melbourne today and several people were killed. The report said the authorities did not know yet if it was connected to the bombing in Bali or not. I sure hope not. This is a lovely tribute to the strength of Australians and the will to keep your freedom. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Sue darling heart sister, this has to be one of your utter utter best, when the flow is as smooth as water over glass, when the phrasing is as delicately meshed into the whole as to make the mind sigh, when the touch of the words falls in a soul with a velvet touch, then I know I’ve read something special. This fulfils the promise of beauty that is offered by your name, when I see your name I know its quality. THIS is simply superb writing, and I love it utterly utterly utterly. Stunning image superb writing it had to bear YOUR name. Your writing give us all the touch of hope, we shall never forget, and we shall prevail   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Sue: What a stirring poem! You should send this to your local paper, or TV station. Other people need to read it besides those of us who enjoy your work regularly. A wonderful write! you should be proud of yourself, as well as your country! Betty Lou Hebert |

Sue, May I stand with you? Awesome write and response to a horrible tragedy. You have my prayers and sympathy. Courage to you all.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
