Leaving Day
As I get older
You will no longer see
The child inside of me
here I stand in an older land

No don't get older
I can just hear them say those words
I cannot let you go now
to a place not yet known

I know what I am doing
I can see where I am headed
I will be free from harm
and believe me I won't break an arm

you need not anticipate
until you sit and wait
give me a moment
to live, to learn, to love

Sounds like you getting ready to cut loose, careful it's a big world out here.  Liked the poem I'm not real good a critiques, but it's got a good form, ya know, reads good and looks good on the page too

Don't take any wooden nickles. lol. Your poem is nice and made me reflect a little on that day some 23 years ago. Just a thought to share.  You are NEVER free from harm.
