Dreading with stress, knowing that the day is here <br />I should share in your excitement without any fear <br />You are going so far… fulfilling your dream to travel <br />On the drive to the city airport I’ll try not to unravel <br /> <br />I’ll smile as I hug and firmly say, 'take care.' <br />Letting go and wishing success with a silent prayer <br />Snapping beaming photos before your trip has begun <br />I know you’ll enjoy your new surroundings… have fun <br /> <br />Try not to worry Grams, I’ll be just fine she said… <br />As I turned away, I could see the lonely days ahead <br />I did not glance back as I looked forward to the day <br />I would once again hug my granddaughter, Amanda May <br /> <br />I’m now at home anticipating lift off and your transit <br />Your plane is scheduled to depart within the minute <br />Stay safe as you go half way around the world to see <br />How other cultures and histories affect you vocabulary <br /> <br />1/16/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/studying-abroad/
