Studying Abroad Poem by Theresa Ann Moore
Studying Abroad
Dreading with stress, knowing that the day is here
I should share in your excitement without any fear
You are going so far… fulfilling your dream to travel
On the drive to the city airport I’ll try not to unravel
I’ll smile as I hug and firmly say, 'take care.'
Letting go and wishing success with a silent prayer
Snapping beaming photos before your trip has begun
I know you’ll enjoy your new surroundings… have fun
Try not to worry Grams, I’ll be just fine she said…
As I turned away, I could see the lonely days ahead
I did not glance back as I looked forward to the day
I would once again hug my granddaughter, Amanda May
I’m now at home anticipating lift off and your transit
Your plane is scheduled to depart within the minute
Stay safe as you go half way around the world to see
How other cultures and histories affect you vocabulary

This is really touching. It reminds me of when I told my grandmother that I wanted to move to Mexico. She was one of the only people who instantly supported me. But I could see the worry in her eyes - like your worry for your granddaughter - that I would be lonely out there by myself. Unfortunately she passed before she got the chance to witness me moving; but your poem warms my heart because I know this is exactly how she would send me off. Beautifully penned, thanks for sharing! ~
