A very good friend of my Dad's Vince writes poetry and I've taken this one from his new collection "A Medley of Rhyme" :
Some folk leave home for far away,
They're youngsters living for today.
And thinking of their future time,
Decisions made while in their prime.
The world outside's a great big place,
The other side of the earth's face.
Is where our youngsters want to go,
They've never been, and do not know.
Their eagerness is evident,
The sun and sea is heaven sent.
If they can work and earn their keep,
A nurse, a doctor, herding sheep,
And many other jobs as well,
Their 'Shangri La', or living hell.
But, time will tell how they get on,
Some will return, some are 'long gone'.
The grass seems greener far away,
And some will go, and some will stay.
Very apt for me Vince! Look forward to reading more of your work in the future. You are now world wide published.
