THE FOREIGNER’S STORY INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO THE POEM: It is a well known fact that we all shall die eventually, for it is inevitable. God, our creator and the owner of the world created us for a purpose. This purpose He wants us to achieve, so He sent us to the world to do so. The world is a difficult yet an easy place to stay. Back to Him we shall go. To Him we are responsible to. Heaven is our home, the earth isn’t. On a journey I embarked Through a dark tunnel To an unknown world A world of pains and Afflictions A world of joy and Sorrow Who am I to challenge him? Into a foreign land He sent me A nine month journey I embarked To the great land. Into the land I arrived After a stead fast nine month journey A weeping arrival I had Down on my cheeks rolled tears As I cried bitterly Who knows? It might be painful to Leave home Home sweet home. Into the land I arrived After a steady fast nine month journey A joyful arrival I had Happiness I brought into My foreign home So little I was Every man joyfully welcomed me A sweet sad moment. The hard way I grew On a rough road I walked In a difficult world I walked In a difficult world I lived Struggling…… Working…… Sweating…… To make ends meet My master is with me though A foreigner I am Back to my home, I’ll return One day Having no say My master is there to decide My day of return He decides Back to my home In the bosom of my master In the bosom of my father That day I long for For this life is a journey A traveler must surely Return home Home sweet home.
