Read together

In a world full of wonder,
Where worries can make us ponder,
There was a wise old woman,
Who taught us to make our wishes common.

She said, "Work hard and don't worry,
For every wish, there is a story.
With your words and your mind,
You can shape your future, one day at a time."

But she warned us about the wires,
That can hold us back and put out our fires.
"Without determination and will,
You'll find it hard to climb that hill."

So we listened to her advice,
And made sure to be precise.
With hard work and a little luck,
We made our wishes come true, no muck.
