Blogger Wil: Australia' s terrible history

No posts with label Australia' s terrible history. Show all posts

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

About Me

I was born in Rotterdam in December, 1933, raised in Indonesia on the Isle of Java. During the war I was a prisoner of a Japanese concentration camp for women. After the war my parents, sisters and I returned to the Netherlands. I became a teacher, married, got three children and five grandchildren. One daughter lives in Australia, where I regularly visit her. My husband died in 1999 and has not seen our youngest grandchildren.

En himmel full av stjerner

En himmel full av stjerner
Blått hav så langt du ser
En jord der blomster gror
Kan du ønske mer ?
Sammen skal vi leve
hver søster og hver bror
Små barn av regnbuen
og en frodig jord.

A heaven full of stars
Blue seas as far as you can see
A world where flowers grow
Can you ask for anything more?
We shall live together
Every sister and every brother
Small children of the rainbow
And a blossoming world.

Awards giving and passing on...
