Poem by Celia Berrell

RADIO FOR ALL AUSTRALIANS 

Perhaps one day I’ll see no more than blurs of light and dark.

And want to read this page you see of alphabet and marks. 

But will I have a friend nearby who’s happy to impart the written information I may need to soothe my heart? 

 I know a sense of helplessness should trap me in its shell. 

And would I be alone in this debilitating plight, when so many Australians can neither read nor write? 

So tell me stories, topics too and interest programmes And please provide a Radio Station For All Australians.
