Life Abroad

i was overjoyed
i was eager to travel
wishing everybody a good stay,
i quickly packed my suitcase 
and was ready to twist life

little did i know,
joy would turn into sadness
happiness into tears
desires into loneliness
but what do i see?
i choose that path

it wasnt easy
neither is it easy
but above all i thank God
He has been my keeper
my strength and guide

i dnt regret going abroad
the journey hasnt been easy
