Jim from Yorkshire he always feels homesick in May
Though he has lived in Australia for sixty five years
Memories of his Homeland has him close to tears
A great grandad in his mid eighties his hair silver gray
His wife of sixty years June where the deceased are does lay
Two years ago of a massive heart attack she breathed her last
Death though not pain free came upon her fast
He grieved for his beloved June the great love of his life
She was his soul mate and his devoted wife
But that time is the healer does seem true to say
And with the octogenarian Jim it too is this way
In his semi detached red brick unit he lives on his own
In his neighbourhood he is well loved and well known
The accent he brought with him from far away
Despite his years in Australia is with him today
In his visualizations Jim often does see
Masses of white blossoms blooming on every hawthorn tree
From where he now lives in distance far away
In the green countryside of Yorkshire in May.
