And then ithappens  ~ (eee eae

Paperwork submissions to CNC and IRCC, deadlines to meet
Looking in the faces of friends and loved ones you may no longer
greet

Waiting, checking, longing for that email response ,
Hours turn to days and then months

And then it happens...... 7

So much to do and so little time

Caught up in this whirlwind, feel like I’m losing my mind
Packing, crying and saying goodbyes,

Taking in familiar sounds, places and smells

And then it happens....

Flight upon flight upon flight upon flight

Moving further away from the familiar throughout the night
One airport connection after the other

Mountains.... beautiful, luscious, greenery ; :
And then it happens.... 7

New city, new faces, new smells and culture all around

New school, new opportunities and new experiences abound
This is the start of a new life

Will | ever get used to this? Did | make the right choice? ©
And then it happens....

Days have turned into months, new yet familiar faces
I’m so intrigued to go out and explore different places
Exams, School fee, Rent, Food, Healthcare aren't optional
BC ID, S.I.N, new jobs, are all a part of the transition :
And then it happens....
