The plane only landed, it seems, yesterday

And now I’ll be boarding another, come what may

But it isn’t to home I am heading (not yet)

Rather into a past that we cannot forget

Is it my past? Not quite – it’s my people’s, you see

Yet it really is relevant to all, even me.

The aim is to see and to learn and to feel

What life was like then, what we had, what was real

What we subsequently lost, through no fault of our own

Or was it? It’s true that you reap what you’ve sown…

And so I start packing, with much trepidation

For this Trip really is about me, and my nation

I’m fearful - almost – about what I will learn

But it’s vital, I think, and the knowledge I yearn

So even if you don’t get the chance I will get

Just search for yourself, for a moment – you may yet

Learn, and remember – just never forget.
