An Ex Refugee

Fading memories are all that now with him remain Of faces and places he will not see again In nineteen fifty six with his parents he came to this Country as a young refugee The last time his Homeland of Hungary he did see In life he has been through the good times and bad Two times a father and three times a grand-dad On his sixty ninth year the one to him most dear His beloved wife died of cancer last year His beautiful soulmate his devoted wife Faithful to him till her last breath of life Loving and kind in her ways the light of goodness on her shone And without her love and support he has to live on From his Homeland of Hungary from here far away The passing of time has left him looking gray He came here with his parents when he was fifteen The last of his homeland he ever had seen.
