Just Words

From one chapter to another chapter
A challenge to new heights
Freedom to be independent
Wisdom adding maturity to age
Experiences go with your journey
Aquaintance becomes a friend
Awareness a new understanding
Fears tackled, fears yet to tackle
Emerging a self confidence
Discovering, learning to trust
So what does all this equal?
A life well lived - all worth living.

Absolutely!!! You are 100% right about this. I've often written on these very subjects and one of my poems is called "Pastures New" about how we, as teenagers, love to move away from parents to a new world, but with that comes also independence and learning to stand on your own two feet in life. I did this in the 1960s. I packed up and set off on my own to Canada to work (Vancouver). It was a it like going to the Moon in this day and age, ha ha.
