Get Ready, Here I Come


Kansas City calls to me
louder with the passing days,
overcasting the voice of fear
that says I cannot change my ways.

I am ripe with anticipation,
rekindled by the path ahead,
not holding on to what I have but
to make a brand new life instead.

Change is good for the heart and soul
and so change is what I choose,
recalling what was said of freedom...
just means nothin' left to lose.

My time for loss is over.
I'm tired of where I'm from,
so Missouri, what I say to you
is "get ready, here I come!"

Wonderful!!!! I loved the energy, the sense of life flourishing.

Yay!  I am happy for you and you just pulled me into your poem with your title.  Is Kansas City ready for you?  Who knows and who cares - you are on your way!
