George Savige

You cannot buy your happiness,
'Cause happiness is free.
Don't you know, or can't you guess,
It's there for you and me.
...

We went out fishing in a boat,
Charlie, Wal and me.
As it was cold, we wore a coat,
Fishing on the sea.
...

They told me with each Rainbow
I'd find a pot of gold,
And I had never proved it,
But that's what I was told.
...

We used to sit besides the track,
Watching trains go clickety clack.
We'd count each carriage passing by,
And smell the smoke that filled the sky.
...

Only believe
That Jesus can save.
Only believe
The Promise he gave.
...

I once owned a Bantam
It wasn’t a chook.
Now you cannot see one,
Except in a book.
...

Be careful of the words you say
cause death is just the blink away,

and be a friend to one and all
...

In the bush where trees are high,
Reaching up into the sky.
This is where we made our cash,
Cutting down the Mountain Ash.
...

It's time that marches,
So they say.
Where is it going?
Tell me pray.
...

Sometimes I’m very wide
Sometimes I’m very small,
Other times I’ve faded
And can’t be seen at all.
...

I sometimes think back
Through the years,
Of crystal sets
And burning ears.
...

To hospital they sent you,
Feeling pretty bad.
And on the day you went you
Wondered what you had.
...

A rooster stands upon his toe,
And bellows forth a mighty crow,
Telling all those soundly sleeping,
Light of day is slowly creeping.
...

I HEARD THE THUNDER RATTLE
AND SAW THE SKY EXPLODE,
THE HEAVENS IN THEIR FURY
WERE SENDING DOWN THEIR LOAD.
...

When God made man, He said to him,
You ought not be alone.
And so then God created Eve
For Adams very own.
...

Hop in the truck,
We're off on a run,
Driving all night,
'Till we see the sun.
...

I am a toy soldier
Standing on some grass,
Made of painted hessian,
By a sea of glass.
...

His pockets full
Of strangest things,
There's nuts and bolts
And bits of string.
...

Now Christmas is approaching,
And this time every year.
I think back on my childhood
And days of yesteryear.
...

A little fly
Upon a wall
Though not too big
And not too small
...
