Irish Poetry Writers Forum Discussion:     The Unsung Hero

A poem or a song can be sung to the tune 'Sean South from Garryowen'

I wrote this in response to the over celebration by Australians of athletes and movie stars.




The ‘Unsung Hero’


It was on a hot and windy morn as the smoke rolled thick and brown
Fire trucks with volunteers approached from a nearby town
With silent pride they held their lines as courage swallows fear
The unsung heroes of our land the Aussie volunteer

They don’t ask for cash reward for silver bronze or gold
Between the flags and out to sea their story goes untold
No accolades no pedestal they work throughout the year
The unsung hero of our land the Aussie volunteer

When fortunes smile has faded dim and the streets are wet and cold
When you’ve fallen through another crack and despair has taken hold
Who’ll pick you up who’ll comfort you who’ll wipe away your tear
The unsung hero of our land the Aussie volunteer

So come every Aussies proud and strong from Sydney through to Perth
From Darwin down to Adelaide from Port Arthur to Cape York
Just take a moment of your day and sing with bright good cheer
To the unsung hero of our land the Aussie volunteer.
