Australian’s in Queensland
awaiting flood waters to recede
have sent their cheques of aid
to their Victorian counterparts

Australian’s have committed
$31 Million in two days
to those who’ve already
lost everything

Australian’s who’ve lost things
donations can’t replace
have been told
they do not stand alone

Australian’s still battle the flames
others still seek loved ones
some return to start rebuilding
their lives and their community

Australian’s continue to offer help
Offer support Offer comfort
I wonder if the Australian capacity to endure
May just be limitless
