A Migrant

 Far from where he was born and raised he lives and works elsewhere
As a migrant in a city in the big World out there
In his mid thirties with a wife and two daughters of six and five
Most weekends he takes his family on a scenic drive
Since in his early twenties when he left his hometown
The roadways of life he has been up and down
He is happy and settled into family life
With his two lovely young daughters and his beautiful wife
His mum and dad in their early seventies ageing in the old hometown to day
As the migratory bird flies from where he lives far away
He has not been back home for at least ten years
But for the what used to be he has shed his last tears
The accent he brought with him today he does retain
And as a migrant in this city he does remain.
