I Am Just One More Migrant Poem by Francis Duggan

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