Life goes on

Because life never waits

Chasing a dream she left the land

Everyone said she was just mad

She heard no words, she packed her dreams

I'm off to a different world! She promised to the seas.

Days then passed, weeks, months,

Even years.

Soon she realised, change was so near

Packing her bags, it became so clear

Her dreams were not there, not even here.

I'm off to a different world! She promised to the seas.

There she went again, to a land she had never been

She landed again, she crossed the bridge, she met the boy,

She opened the door, she lost her plot!

She thought she knew, but life goes on

Off she went, she packed her bags yet again.

Another land, another choice

I'm off to a different world! She promised to the seas.

What does it take to follow your dream?

What does it take to travel the world?

What does it take to find your home?

In a world where life never waits.

    Uhm... Susan, did you write this poem about me? It feels like you followed my life happenings very closely. I often ponder about the same questions you stated. Great poem!

    Great job, Susan. Change is great and good for the soul, especially when you can control it. Outside of that, it is just a part of life that makes it interesting and hones in on all our senses
