Leaving for Africa

Hey!!!
So I am sort of taking a break from the poetry blog for 2 years to go serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
But before I go, I'll give you one last poem. entitled Simple


Simple
The course humid windiness hit him
With a million smells
A million new faces looking straight at him

Why?
Why would this kid drop everything
To go across the world?

He's so out of place,
Doesn't even know french
Doesn't even know how to teach...

Not scared of foreign lands
Or his trembling hands

Relying wholly on the Savior,
Giving everything
So that people he meets
Can have a chance

To find the truth.
And help others find it.
