Bittersweet

Bittersweet departure

Our once upon a time

And once again

Pulling on the heart

Embracing the joy and pain

Of moving away

And letting go

Of the experience

Of somewhere

We called home.

Myriad of emotions

Our hearts overflow

So much in store

So many uncertainties

Leaving nothing behind

Except precious friends

And burgeoning dreams

And every expectation

Of something

We called life.

Beautiful mysteries

Our eyes have seen

Amidst risks taken

Sacrifices celebrated

Obeying the gentle voice

And forging ahead

Into the truth of trust

And the wisdom

Of someone

We called Lord.
