Some Do Worry About Dying Poem by Francis Duggan

Some do worry about dying and where they will live their final day
Like the aged fox to die who seeks his distant den
They would like their remains buried in their Hometown far away
Though they won't have any need for to worry then.

For the dead are beyond worry and every living care
And the cares of life do die with us in death
And over too is suffering in life some suffer their own share
Yet most do cling to life until the final breath.

Yet I as a migrant understand why many wish to go home to die
Where with the bones of their ancestors their's will lay
Love of home does never leave one that's a fact and facts don't lie
Nostalgia with the migrant till the end does stay.

Some do worry about dying where their last remains will rest
Most wish for the family grave near to the graves of those they once knew
But not everyone as we know are granted their last request
For migrants a Hometown grave is only for the few.
