We think of all the memories

attached to this place

the winding road to get here

how it came to be

 

now in our leaving

we find it hard to let go

we knew it as a place of joy

we look into uncertainty

 

but life goes on

and places come and go

the place we are going to

begins a new chapter in our lives

 

so we close the door

and say goodbye

caught between what was

and what is yet to be

 

there is sorrow in the leaving

yet excitement for what lies ahead

we cope with the anxiety

we struggle with our mixed emotions.
