Departing Departed

Departing departed
   The time forth draws nigh
Sooner than soon
   It will be goodbye
Off to a land both far and wide
   Off off upon a magic carpet ride
Far away places
   Far and peoples
Far away customs
   Far away features
Why forward dark past unto a bright future
   Why wait till the last to see a new culture
Behold with great joy as histories unfold
   Rewards await those whose choices are bold
Depart without anger
   Remorse and/or pity
The departing departed for a entire new city!
Wondering if, when, why, or how
   This new experience qualities endow
Past snow and past ice,
   Past close friends and fam
All life does change, tis the way of the land
Joyous future memories to embrace with open arms and an open mind
Along the way so many are kind

Embracing the kindness of strangers in darkest hours
   Embracing what's called courage whilst others do cower
Embracing love of another who beckons "come home"
   Embracing the release of useless fears that were once known

Departing from one place to end in another
   Departing from family
Father, brother, and mother

Out to the world as a full grown man
   Out with the confidence that YES I FUCKING CAN

Excitement comes spilling out from each and every side
   Departing time now
Allow me to rise.
