Goodbye

Goodbye my old world, I am afraid it’s my time to go,
To say my last farewell and hit the road,
Time moved faster than expected,
It’s sad to say goodbye but it’s definitely for the best
It was the best years of my life and I gave all I got,
I did not think it would be this hard to say goodbye
To the ones that have stood by me
Life maybe different now as I enter the out-side world
You will never know what to expect
It’s the twist and turns that lead us down the path called life,
Ironic really, that I’m next
I never thought I would get this far
I will always remember this place
So farewell my dear friends, for that is now what you are
You will always be there in my memory
Where ever I may go or travel so far
