As you pack your bags and say goodbye

Leaving home for new adventure in the sky

Remember that this is not the end

But the beginning of an adventure with no end


You`ll meet new friends and learn new things

Experience life in ways you`ve never seen

And as you experience the world beyond

You`ll come to find that of this life you`re awfully fond


While it may be tough to walk away

You may feel alone or that you`ve gone astray

Remember that you are not alone 

And that you will always have a seat at the table when you come back home


So embrace this new chapter with open arms

For there is nothing more exciting than the journey that awaits beyond the farm.

I live on a farm with my wonderful family and am moving 8 hours away for college in the fall. I wrote this poem from the perspective of my mother.
