Venturing the path less trodden,
Had always seemed so distant;
I open my eyes and awaken,
To realize the dreams magnificent!
The day is ever so bright,
There's a spring in every step I take,
My mind is empty, my heart light,
I'm filled with joy for the life I'm going to make.
As I reach the gate, I pull up my shorts;
Take a deep breath in and memories come to me.
The life I left behind, family, friends and the sorts;
My little house, the small heaven, now seem like a huge fee!
I think that I should turn around,
And probably walk back;
I am so tightly bound,
My dreams I begin to pack!
I remember my father's pride,
My mentor's faith,
The longing eyes of my bride,
And the promises that made her wait.
I feel torn between the two,
The old green tree and the new sprout.
I know what I have to do.
There is absolutely no doubt!
Feeling all the more confident now,
I wear a winning smile;
I know I am one among the lucky few,
Who can go an extra mile!!
