Thoughts on Leaving<\/strong><\/p>\n \n This restlessness has grown within me<\/p>\n Till now I know it\u2019s to time for me to go<\/p>\n To see new lands, seek new horizons<\/p>\n And to say goodbye to everything I know<\/p>\n \n To say goodbye to the forests of pine<\/p>\n The mountains towering above<\/p>\n The sparkling lake with its deep blue depths<\/p>\n The land that I know and love<\/p>\n \n To say goodbye to the sturdy ranch house<\/p>\n The home I helped my father make<\/p>\n It\u2019s been my shelter and my haven<\/p>\n And leaving it will make my heart ache<\/p>\n \n But the land and the house are just things<\/p>\n And the hardest part for me<\/p>\n Is saying goodbye to the people I love<\/p>\n My treasured family<\/p>\n \n I know my leaving will hurt my brothers<\/p>\n And break my father\u2019s heart<\/p>\n They don\u2019t really understand why I\u2019m going<\/p>\n And why we have to part<\/p>\n \n They don\u2019t understand this wanderlust<\/p>\n This need explore new places<\/p>\n To visit a world far beyond these shores<\/p>\n See new sights and meet new faces<\/p>\n \n But I know wherever I go, be it near or far<\/p>\n They\u2019ll be with me in my heart<\/p>\n And I know that they\u2019ll welcome me when I return<\/p>\n No matter how long we\u2019re apart<\/p>\n \n For that\u2019s what a family is all about<\/p>\n Letting you do what you must<\/p>\n And sending you off with a smile, not a tear<\/p>\n Carrying all of their love and their trust<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summary:\u00a0 A Bonanza poem, the title explains it all.<\/p>\n Rating:\u00a0 G\u00a0 \u00a0(240 words)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":15258,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"template-full-width-post.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-poetry","wpcat-9-id"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Adam-traurig.jpg?fit=768%2C576&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/51"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bonanzabrand.info\/library\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
