Though life's toughest challenges she is one who did face
She is seldom without a big smile on her face
Her husband Guiseppe died ten years ago
And time that ages has become her foe
Their only offspring Bruno his best days in life had not seen
When he died in a work accident at the age of nineteen
To die at such a young age he was an unlucky one
She and Guiseppe grieved for their dead son
In their mid twenties they arrived in Australia in their physical prime
As migrants from Italy this is going back in time
Since Guiseppe died she lives on her own
Of the good and the bad days of life they had known
Seldom without a smile on her face far from her first home
The octogenarian Maria from Rome.
