I’m now twenty-one,

And I’m ready for fun,

I’m letting twenty go

Along with all it’s woe.

Another year

Has come and gone,

This day is over,

Soon another will dawn,

Time is so crazy

As it comes and goes,

It’s laughter and tears

As we learn and grow.

I’m ready for a season

Of happiness and joy,

Not that life’s sorrows

I would avoid,

I have learned

Many lessons,

And have many

More questions,

In the midst of

The bitter

I’ve found the

Needed glitter,

Felt the sweetest morsels

against the storms wrath,

Some of the best times

Have been on this rugged path,

I’m grateful for every

Moment so far

Even the times

That have left deep scars,

But I look ahead

With hope for a year

That will leave me

Shedding a few less tears,

A year of happiness,

Joy and peace,

A heart and mind,

Happily at ease.
