To The Faraway Poem by Peter S. Quinn

I long to see the faraway, the place
Where all my dreams and hopes are waiting for me.
The land of beauty, mystery, and grace,
Where I can be myself and truly free.

But I am bound by chains of circumstance,
By duties, obligations, and by fear.
I cannot take the risk, I dare not chance
To leave behind the life that I hold dear.

And yet I wonder, what if I could go?
What if I could escape this dull routine?
What wonders would I see, what would I know?
What happiness and love could I have seen?

Perhaps one day I'll find the courage to
To break the chains and fly away with you.
