A Refugee

Locally to many his is a known face
He is known as the man from the far away place
In the late nineteen fifties in his late teens
He came to this Country as a refugee from Hungary when he was only nineteen
Since then his home City of Budapest he has not seen
Ten times a great grandfather his Australian wife died ten years ago
And time that ages all life has become his foe
The only part of Hungary that he does retain
The accent he brought with him with him does remain
A likeable old fellow in his own quiet way
He is one who never does have that much to say
Whenever i see him he is on his own
To many in the locality he is one who is known
He still lives in the home he shared with his deceased wife
And there it does seem he will live out his life.
