Australia - Walking The Streets Of Adelaide Poem by Paul Warren

Walking the streets of Adelaide
I still see all the familiar places
The parklands where we had picnics
Romping with my family and friends
On those endless warm summer days
When laughter was king and we belonged

The Primary and Secondary Schools
Where I spent my youthful days
I still like to watch the endless waves
As they lap the gulf water beaches
You can still take a tram to Glenelg
Or go to Windy Point and see the city lights

Familiar places that I see all around me
The melancholy feeling that I now savour
I see the faces of the people I hold up high
And I think of where those years have gone
The wonder of the easy things that familiarity brings
And I am where I belong as I walk the streets of Adelaide.
