If I would look back at twenty-sixteen

I’d find myself stuck at home all the time

And oh, what a boring sight to be seen

Before I found my favorite pastime.

The first of the year, I started to read,

A magical tale of a wizard boy

Who would teach me a lesson I would need:

Do whatever you must to find great joy.

Now I can say with a smile and great pride

Instead of worrying and crying, I

Take life day by day and enjoy the ride.

Now I will let nothing good pass me by.

Life and my homework sure did take its toll

But now I know, happiness is my goal.
