Long gone are those days
When I knew no pride
I still had a land and a home
And a yard to play
...
"See this man, strange and young
Despondent face disheartened soul
Poor lad came from far
To feel the breeze of beautiful Rome"
...
So I thought…
With a little gut and a little push
A beautiful intention in the heart
I can face you in the eyes
...
Your crispy voice echoed in despair
Agonized sigh filled the air
Your eyes in tears,
The shawl in the hair
...
They glanced in horror…
all confused,
Bewildered face,
confused like a fool
...
