Moving On Poem by Lea Gordon

This New Year's Eve will be the last
I spend with loved ones of my past

Tomorrow marks not just a new year
But a new life I hope full of cheer

I have lived half my life not being me
To please my wife my kids and all my family

The future I see is rainbow bright
The secret gone my burden is light

To be who I am I Need to be me
The hurt I will impose will have to be

Time may mend the broken heart
That my revelation now I part

The life I lived to now was not fair
To live a lie and not to share

I married young and tried to hide
Who I was from my Bride

And now I need to set me free
To be the man I need to be

Moving on decision made
A Gay man joins the rainbow parade
