My Goal This Year
My Goal This Year
By: Jennifer Nguyen
I wish I’m like her most times!
That one neighbor you see everyday
Walking like crazy and running away
The thing is she seems so old
She’s covered in wrinkles from head to toe
Yet she seems so motivated, it amazes my eye
I wish I’m like her most times!
She’s more of a cheetah for all I know
I see her five times a week or so
She seems special, a one of a kind
A great woman with a strong mind
I wish I’m like her most times!
A lightbulb turns on in my head
Getting more active is my resolution plan
I will be like her this time!
