Enjoying the light and sparkle,
In a pretty woman’s hair – and dancing eyes,
Following the bubbly, tingly clouds
Scurrying across
Our beautiful Australian skies.
Watching the cresting waves,
Tippling and tumbling
Towards a sandy beach,
Rejoicing in an ocean sunset –
Of pastels, gold and peach.
Filled with intoxication,
By a star filled heavenly sight,
A magic travelling star show,
A champagne moment at night!
Sitting in a crowded café
The smells, the warmth and cheer,
As lovers, friends and family…
Enjoy being close and near.
Too late to enjoy life’s bubbly,
When I’m gone
And dead –
So I’ll look
For champagne moments,
And fill my days with a lifetime…
Of champagne days ahead.
