Two Days To Go

So, all packed up and ready to move across the country back to my hometown, after almost two years.....the moving truck comes tomorrow, the flight is the next day.....

 

The bags are quickly packed

The door is almost closed

The boxes are all stuffed

Full of my many clothes

The cats run all around

They sense the coming change

They see the way it’s going

That my life is re-arranged

All the stuff that I have

Is all bundled neatly away

Soon to be gone from this place

To be seen the very next day

In another lonely place

In another lonely town

My home was what I called it

Though it had brought me down

I must leave to return there

From the place from where I came

The years have slowly changed me

And I am not the same

My friends, they will be waiting

Or so I’d like to think

Just these few days ahead

Will make me swim or sink

My flight leaves after tomorrow

And then I will be there

Flying over the country

Across the clouds and air

Return to what I knew

The things I had most feared

The memories I longed for

That I held so close and dear

Now I look around me

At this life that I had made

Wondering how it might turn out

If I had only stayed

But my decision made is final

I cannot change it now

And even if I wanted to

It wouldn’t change anyhow

So now I sit and wait

For my time comes soon to go

I’ve many miles behind me

I’ve many miles to go

I like the way you write about your life in this poem.
The changes we go through that make us a different person
so we don't know about our friends .. will they be there ?
Will they still like me with all my changes.. and the family ..
I like this part ..

Flying over the country
Across the clouds and air
Return to what I knew
The things I had most feared
The memories I longed for
That I held so close and dear
Now I look around me
At this life that I had made
Wondering how it might turn out
If I had only stayed
But my decision made is final
I cannot change it now
And even if I wanted to
It wouldn't change anyhow
So now I sit and wait
For my time comes soon to go
I've many miles behind me
I've many miles to go

WE all can relate to that.. good luck ..
