Have we accomplished all we wanted to
Before that final ticking of the clock?
What are the burdens we will carry through
That we could not rid ourselves from the stock
That we collected through the course of the year?
Is this something we must really endure
Or should we look for a life full of cheer?
Maybe that is where we will find the cure
To the tiny moments that bring us down.
Maybe we should leave those problems behind.
We do not need to wear that heavy crown,
For to its weight, we did not have to bind.
We can enter the day with a new start,
Taking with us a joyous and free heart.
