Trials and Triumphs
At Midnight tonight
As the clock clicks
Its another birthday
Another age shifts
It's been a hard year
Not ideal at best
The triumphs make
It worth the test
On a cold, snowy night
My life had only begun
Seventeen years have passed
Yet I'm nowhere near done
So here's to a year full of
Success and desires awoke
To a new year of happiness
To another barrier broke
A year is a measure of time
Only created in the mind
I wonder what would happen
If to time we were blind
So goodbye, sweet sixteen
You taught me many a lesson
I wouldn't change a thing
When all is said and done
Hello, seventeen years old
And to all the unseen bumps
I'll try to make you proud
Through the trials and triumphs
