The path you've walked now takes a turn, New horizons to the city before you burn. A blank slate, awaiting to claim your will. In new space, numerous rewards shall be fulfilled The camaraderie of old faces you leave, But in the new position, you must believe, Old connections renewed as blossoms will bloom, In this uncharted territory, a chance to groom. In the period of growth, shifts take flight, A journey new, a change of sight. Transferred to a destination, fresh and bol
