Born To Be Me

~By Fiona Maynard


I was born on an island
In the Bass Strait
To a wonderful couple
Whose love was embraced?

My Father a pipe layer
My Mother a Cook
Both worked hard for their money
To give us what they could

Love and attention
Trust and devotion
We built a family connection
A bond that has not broken

Now it's my turn to say thank you
For who I am today
You're not only just my parents
but my special friends
