As dawn breaks with a gentle sigh,
The heart whispers a silent cry,
For the path ahead is shrouded in mist,
And the home left behind will be missed.

The echoes of laughter, the warmth of embrace,
Are memories now, in a sacred place.
Each step forward, a bittersweet song,
For leaving home feels achingly wrong.

Yet the horizon calls with a promise bright,
A world unknown in the morning light.
With courage gathered, we bid adieu,
To the walls that sheltered, the skies so blue.

In the vast expanse of the great unknown,
We carry pieces of where we’ve grown.
For though we leave, we remain entwined,
With the roots of home in heart and mind.
