the tears still in my eyes,
I saw the vision of those I love
as we said our last goodbyes.
The ride was long and trying
as two questions plagued my mind,
"Do I want the life that's up ahead,
Or the one I left behind?"
Two years is such a long, long time
for going door to door.
In my reflecting I thought to myself,
"There really must be more."
I dragged myself down off the plane
and started smiling at the beach,
When a man turned me the other way
saying,"Elder, go find and teach."
I sit reflecting one again
as this day is my last.
Please Lord, this isn't fair,
the time goes by so fast.
And I stare out the window
the tears still in my eyes,
I see the Elders and friends I love
as we've just said our last goodbyes.
The ride was long and trying
as two questions plagued my mind,
"Do I want the life that's up ahead,
or the one I left behind?"
