Promise of the Future

The uncertainties of days Has trigerred my unwanted desire To depart from your caring home Bound to explore the unknown And, I left you in tears In search of the promise of the future Has sailed me to the seven seas of fears Finally, brought me to Homer's land By a stranger in a fancy turban As I run for the grace, in style Offered by the shadow of an olive tree A temporary shelter of peace, for free A humble place, safe from the bomb Undesirable things, has yet to come Courageously, I fight, lest I fall Today, among you, I stand tall Not only, had I become hero But still, I do the fandango For your love, has restored my pride!
