Understand {A Poem}

My heart and pro-con list both say

That this is the right way.

But my indecisive mind sees the good in both lands

So how can I expect you to understand?

Know that you made me a Keystone

With love that said I wasn't alone

And friendships I knew would never fail.

Try to understand, you’ve heard the tales,

I feel great pain in leaving.

The wonders of homeschooling will always amaze me

You were so much better than I expected you to be

You made the Buckeye state feel like a home

But understand, listen to this poem,

This choice was never yours to make.

I won’t leave bitter, I won’t come mourning

And I just hope you won’t think I went without warning

Pennsylvania is the keystone of our happiness,

Just remember, even through this darkness,

My heart will always belong to both my home states.
