In the stillness of the night, I sit down to write
My heart heavy with emotion, my words taking flight
A letter of farewell, of goodbye and of hope
As I prepare to spread my wings, to climb the next slope
The world beckons, a new horizon on the rise
A blank canvas waiting to be painted with my ties
I'll venture into the unknown, with courage in my hand
Guided by dreams and aspirations, by the shifting sand
My roots are deep, my memories sweet
But it's time to move on, to dance to a new beat
I'll soar through the skies, a bird set free
Exploring new territories, whatever they may be
I'll visit the nest I grew in, a place of love and care
Where my spirit found solace, where dreams filled the air
I'll return to the familiar, to the voices I hold dear
To the comforting embrace of those who are near
But my path lies ahead, a journey to embark
A quest for self-discovery, to light the inner spark
I may stumble and fall, but I'll rise again
For I carry the strength of those who support me, my friends
So fret none, my dear ones, for I am not far
I'll be just a phone call away, a guiding star
I'll write letters of love, of longing and of cheer
To remind you that I'm here, that my love is near
And though the distance may grow, my heart remains true
For my love for you all, forever shines through
So as I bid farewell, with a tear in my eye
Know that I'll always be with you, soaring high
Into the unknown, towards the setting sun
My letter has been written and sent, my journey begun
I'll spread my wings and fly, towards a new destination
But always knowing, I can return to my cherished foundation.
