Steve Irwin to me was a legend, no doubt about that, to see a man so passionate about his work was brilliant and certainly gave me a passion for wildlife, thanks Steve

Austrailia Zoo

I visted Austrailia Zoo and it brought a tear to my eye,
To know that you were no longer there but seeing your work carried on with such great passion.

It is an amazing place and you were an amazing person.

Take care sweet angel.

If Heaven Had A Phone

I cannot dial your number,
I can't get through to you,
I called the operator,
She did all that she could do.

There is no code for heaven,
I cannot place the call,
No numbers left to call,
I reckon I've tried them all.

If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
There's things I want to say.

To tell you that I love you,
And miss you every day,
How much I prayed to god,
That he could let you stay.

If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
I'd hear your voice, know you're okay,

I just want to speak to heaven,
Please do you have a direct line,
Operator says no number,
But your loved one says they're doing fine.
