I am just one more migrant there are millions like me <br />We live far from where the lamp of day we first did see <br />Separated from our Homeplace by distance and sea <br />Though strangers back there now to many we'd be <br />So far from where our life journey we did begin <br />Many of us become citizens of the Land we live in <br />Whilst some of us as permanent residents do remain <br />And citizenship of our Home Country retain <br />Many far from the place of their birth live today <br />And the last remains of millions of deceased migrants lay <br />Far from their home village or city or town <br />And the old streets where they often walked up and down <br />I am just a migrant there are millions more <br />Who grow old far distant from their Homeland shore.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-just-one-more-migrant/
