Stepping Onward

I am letting you go now.

Farewell to my twenties

and thirties.

Farewell to the Land that holds those memories,

which made me who I am

to some degree.

Moving on now

from the friends

and loved ones of those years.

There's a few true ones

I'm keeping

for our relationships to grow

into new dimensions.

Both babies, born there.

Became a mom,

a wife, a professional, a confident person

with wisdom...and experience.

Now my babies will grow up here,

a new home,

and they're ready for this.

We were happy there

with so much love,

but we're happy here,

with even more love.

Good-bye to overworking,

giving too much,

trying too hard,

holding onto old dreams.

Good-bye to always missing something,

not feeling enough

or fully satisfied.

I am letting you go.

Another layer,

another milestone.

Life is moving on

without bitterness.

Bittersweet indeed.

Good-bye especially

the the house my children

were babies in,

where we became a family.

We filled you with love,

but we're taking it with us to our new home,

Loads of Love and happiness here.

Welcoming--

Simplicity, ease,

healing,

laughs,

our family growing....

Closer, older, deeper.

Welcoming our new life

without expectation,

with openness,

we bring all of who we are

and all we have learned,

and with a beginner's heart,

we start anew.

Stepping onward to our dreams...
