Jim

 Homesickness is a thing that all migrants of do know
But in time a thing that most of outgrow
Time is the healer as the wise one does say
A truism of the past that remains relevant today
Jim an ageing migrant often talks of the past
He says for awhile homesickness in him did last
But he no longer feels nostalgia for his first hometown
And the days long ago when his hair was light brown
He says today to most people i would seem a migrant there
Just an ageing stranger who arrived from elsewhere
It is obvious nostalgia it has died in Jim
There are so many migrants in the World like him
Who have left their first hometown in their physical prime
And have lost their nostalgia in the decades of time.
