Steve Irwin Tribute
Mate, Husband, Father
Son, Brother, Friend
Conservationist and Mentor
loved throughout the lands
~*~*~
I ventured ev'ry journey
in air, o're land 'n sea
each day took in new beauty
that mine eyes could see
You taught me love of nature
and creatures in the wild
that life is something precious
and always it's worthwhile
Embraced each day with passion
never faltered, fell astray
took action, sent a message
your mission to make change
High with enthusiasm
along your chosen path
like a lizard drinkin water
could never get enough
A warrior in your own right
fighting for a cause
determined with conviction
without a doubt, or pause
Your heart knew love 'n kindness
words made us stop, reflect
expressive eyes held stories
but actions told them best
A blueprint of your parent's
how proud they both must be
instilled in you fine morals
their love so plain to see
You were a tender hearted bloke
loved cranky crocodiles
rode their backs, free of fear
'n seemed to make them smile
Champion of Australian lands
met by destiny
the creatures weep, remember
your fight to keep them free
You left behind warm heartprints
great lessons round the world
Bindi, Bob and Terri
hold mem'ries fond and true
You were an inspiration
as I watched you from afar
'crikey', mate I'll miss ya
will see you mong'st the stars
Smiling with your precious mum
still spreading love around
sprinkling us with angeldust
both humming nature's song
