Two Questions

As I stare out the windows, 

with tears still in my eyes,

I see the faces of those I love, 

we just said our last goodbyes.

This ride will be long and trying, 

as two questions plague my mind.

Do I want the life up ahead, 

or the one I left behind?

Two years is such a long, long time, 

for going door to door.

In my reflections I thought,

"There really must be more."

As I got down off the plane,

I stared smiling at the beach.

A man turned me the other way, and said, "Elder, go find and teach."

And now as I sit reflecting,

on today, it is my last.

This really isn't fair Dear Lord, 

the times gone way too fast.

As I stare out the windows, 

with tears still in my eyes,

I see the faces of Elders, Sister, Friends I love, 

We just said our last goodbyes.

This ride will be long and trying, 

as two questions plague my mind.

Do I want the life up ahead, 

or the one I'm leaving behind?
