Be grateful for the Biyala (red gum trees)

It's really early
Now… really, really early
says the river
you must curtsy
the trees have given more things to you than you think
now put on your boots
have a wander
and we will have a yarn (talk)
the trees give you oxygen
while the leaves give out colour
the leaves get all looped and decorated with curls
as we yanda (walk) under the munch
as we wander over a bunch.
Now the trees get bold,
as we get more frosty and cold
that’s why you should be told
of the stories from the Garra (now) and Dhama (old).
