Thanks for that link, Vic. I've been a fan of Clive's for many years and I'm sorry to hear he has such medical problems.
Watched him on ABC TV on Tuesday night, feisty as ever.
He always did have a wonderful way with words and he displays that talent in the poem, which manages to be sad, inspiring and uplifting all at the same time.
Cheers, Tony

It is a pity Tony that he can't come back to Oz to die because of his condition, but I am sure he would have plenty of friends over there around him.
See here, the poem is further down in the article;
