Judith Kempis - OFW

The life in abroad is not just easy
You will feel like crazy and nothing to see
Homesickness and sadness to the family
Friends and neighbours are all gone away.

Tend to live alone and help no one
no sword to fight for, except one
Word of God to pray for companion
He hears and stay to be strengthen.

Adopted people and environment seems to be okay
But they dont care your presence anyway
Just keep working, everyday the whole day
Hardwork and sacrifice, small amount they pay.

People will say, OFW have lots of money
But they dont think the burden we carry
We risks our lives to lift poverty
To support the family and help the country
That is necessary and valuable today.

Its really difficult to leave the country
With the experience, regrets come immediately
I'd rather cultivate the land with my bare hand
Than to work to my adopted land.

To you my friends think wisely
Take time to plan, dont be in a hurry
Secure your future and fulfill someday
Not just to be OFW and not be far away.
