Sept. 1, 2024
On this September day, winds may howl,
And clouds may gather with a solemn scowl.
Yet wattle blooms, a golden thread,
Weaving light where the sun has fled.
.
Amid the storm, its bright hues gleam,
A gentle promise, a whispered dream.
In fields and forests, its flowers sway,
Defying the gloom in a vibrant array.
.
Though skies are gray and winds are cold,
The wattle's glow is pure and bold.
A herald of spring, in yellow so bright,
Guiding us through the darkest night.
.
So on this day, though the weather’s drear,
We celebrate wattle, its strength so clear.
A symbol of hope, of resilience and cheer,
Shining through the storm, year after year.
