His Responsibilities In Life

For years he has been talking of moving to elsewhere
And trying out his  luck in the big World out there
But with a wife and two young children he must work for his pay
And talk of how life might be in the towns far away

To his responsibilities in life he must remain as true
And his dreams of travel he cannot pursue
He must remain as loyal to his children and his wife
Circumstance can change for us what might be in life

Many of those he went to school with in life  have moved on
For self betterment to distant towns they have gone
The lure of the wander in some of the young is strong
They feel in the Hometown they do not belong

He only can imagine for him what might have been
In far away cities he has not yet seen
But he must fulfill his responsibilities in life
To his very young children and their mother his wife.
