reyou'll be fine
Do you mean financially?

Today we studied poetry in my classes and I came across this one. It is too advanced for my students and they didn't understand it but it sent a shiver down my back.
I'm not sure why. It has a haunting beauty.

Something told the Wild Geese
by Rachel Field

Something told the wild geese
It was time to go
Though the fields lay golden
Something whispered "snow"
Leaves were green and stirring
Berries, luster-glossed
But beneath warm feathers
Something cautioned, "Frost"

All the sagging orchards
Steamed with amber spice.
But each wild breast stiffened
At remembered ice.
Something told the wild geese
It was time to fly-
Summer sun was on their wings,
Winter in their cry.
