The ups and downs <br />The fight and strife <br />Will you make it through? <br />Together and whole? <br />Or will the strain of loneliness <br />Be to great to bear? <br />Striving for what you want <br />Will take you away from what you have <br />Are you ready to leave? <br />Are you ready to grieve? <br />For what you lost <br />Something you held so close <br />A first love burned to dust<br /><br />Autumn Winds<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-you-ready-to-leave/
