Happy 80th Birthday Dad
Happy 80th Dad!
Remember the day
Gazing across the misty moors
You felt an urge that was so great
To travel far and discover your fate
To make the most of your mere life
At first, it seemed too big a risk
But something beckoned you could not resist
You set off far from the motherland
In a quest for opportunities
Australia became your new found home
You sailed the coast and it looked so grand
Promising yourself you would return
To make your mark and own some land
Along the way you faced all challenges
Nothing daunted you wanted more
Until you reached this very day
Now you can look back and be proud
Of all you’ve accomplished and say
I’ve done it all I feel at peace
What a fantastic life I’ve truly made
