This poem means a lot to me. It helped me get through a tough time. This was before I left for Poland too. It might not be as good nearly three years later, but it's sentimental to me.

Oh little one, I know you're growing up
you're discovering the adult world
it's not all fun and games
it's not all dreams come true
but depite all this, little one,
I am proud of you
You made your choice
you stuck to it, too
you figured out what was best to do
it's not the dream you wanted
it's not a gold paved road
and oh my little one
how I wish I could carry your load
There is no easy answer
there is no simple yes or no
but I am proud of the decision you made
you held on fast and you decided what was best
I know at the moment it seems all wrong
just know my little one
it was the right choice, so stay strong
Just dream a little longer
you have a lifetime to discover
that this is only the first of many disappointments
I cannot say the others will be worse or better
And I know the heartache you must feel,
but hang in there little one
and one day your dream will be real
