Poems

Life on Myella
by Gabby from Holland 

A month ago I came to your farm,
Didn't know what to expect, but the welcome was warm!
My plan was to stay for a day or three,
But soon I found out it wasn't enough for me.

After I traveled along the east coast mania,
I wanted to see something of the real Australia.
I wanted to feel and see his enormous space,
And Myella seemed to be just the righ place.

So much beautiful acres of land it was easy,
When I was riding on a horse, to feel completely free.
If you can ride or not it didn't matter,
As long as you were able to get the cattle together.

With the help of Louise and Norman of course,
They are real experienced cowboys on a horse.
After the heat, if you wanted to get cool,
You could swim or just relax in the pool.

Rodeo riding, throwing a lasso or milking a cow,
If you wanted to do this, Lyn could show you how.
With much patience Ken learned me the trick,
Of cracking a whip, which gave me a kick.

There was always a lot of fantastic food.
Along with more skills Olive cooks good.
Peter likes to tell you about the stars in space,
Or recital a poem at the fireplace.

But there came a time to say goodbye,
I had to go, I had to fly.
I enjoyed every moment, wished I could stay,
There's just one last thing I want to say:

Thank you so much for the wonderful time!!

Words can't express what this did to me,
I really felt part of your family.
