Dino From Milan

Dino has lived in Australia for most of his life Ten times a great grand dad Jody his Australian wife Passed from life of cancer a decade ago Which left the poor man under a cloud of woe Though time is the healer as some like to say He thinks of his deceased soulmate every day And weekly he places flowers on her grave and pray In the grave she is in his last remains too will lay For six decades he has been a migrant man In nineteen fifty six he left his home City of Milan His journey south brought him to Australia's shore His City of birth for to see never more Though he speaks English well his Italian accent he retain This part of the old Country in him does remain Silver gray hair on his balding head Dino from Milan In his own charming way is a likeable man An octogenarian in a one bedroom apartment he lives on his own In his side of the town he is well liked and well known Though he looks well for his years in truth one can say That he is one who has known of a far better day.
