First Home

To the Londoner it is London to the Roman it is Rome
We all have a place to call home
The migrants from New York and Bombay
Will tell you their home from here is far away

To the migrants of Barcelona in Spain
Barcelona as their home does remain
And though living far from there the Tokyo woman or man
Remain loyal to their part of Japan

Home is where the heart is some do say
And though the Athenian in Athens did not stay
With such a saying he does not agree
He says Athens remains home to me

Migrants of Paris, Capetown, Moscow or any other where
Of the bigger World out there
Will tell you their home is where their journey in life began
Where they grew into a young woman or man

From any part of the World one could name
Home to most of us migrants the same
Our first home is home to us still
Mine is Claraghatlea Millstreet Town near Clara Hill.
