For his hometown Stephen has shed his last tears
He says i have not been there for over fifty years
Not a pleasant place to live in then for a young homosexual male
His birth home sold by his niece at a recent sale
Going back the years in time quite a span
In the nineteen fifties when he was a young man
For a homosexual person his hometown not a nice place to live in
When every non heterosexual relationship was seen as a union of sin
His sexual preferences from his own family he even did hide
Until for his own good he came to decide
That from his birth town he ought to migrate
He counted the days to his departure date
Eight years ago to cancer he lost his long term partner Jim
He grieved for his departed love such a sad time for him
The up and down times of life he has known
Nowadays he feels happy growing old on his own
Far from the town where he first saw light of day
With his deceased partner Jim his last remains will lay
In his eighty fourth year of time quite a span
Stephen the gray haired and likeable true gentleman
