Window Sill

Step out into the light:
the sights of the world
are there for you
to see at last,

the horizons
have now opened up
their gateways
for you to gaze at.

Welcome to the fold,
some will say
yet others will tell you
that you've arrived

at long last.
But you haven't arrived;
you still have miles
to travel, so much work

in progress left to do...
This is only the start
of a brand new journey
for you.

Some will say
that your travels to
get this far have ended
but in reality

they've just begun.
Let's not forget that
as long as you guard
these letters well.

Your quest isn't over;
there's still so much
you have to strive for
along the way.

Take this advice to heart,
take it from one who knows:
I've walked in your shoes,
I've been on the same quest

as you & to this day I still am.
Without question
this is just the start
of a whole new chapter

in the story of your life
up to this point.
Are you willing
to make the most of it?
