A Foreigner Abroad

Rambling lessons, experience spent
Different cultures, the worlds decent
Pieces so blended, hiding their lies
A journey traveled, with little prize

A tourist visiting, his extended stay
Parties by night, working the day
Face and skin, never a local fit
Surviving challenges, using his wit

A house no home, sheltered keep
His dreams so blurred, a broke sleep
Planes with bags, destination shown
Glimmer of light, with how he’s grown

Chance encounter, heartfelt stutter
His words all lost, nothing to utter
A smile that melts, that family feel
A foreigner abroad, his homesick heal
