When all we knew
Was to run and play
Friendship showed the way
In innocence we had no clue
Storms would change all we knew
Kindness was our start
Love is life’s true heart
Climbing trees and skinned knees
Life is wonderful when your at the start
Then comes life’s first broken heart
Battered and bruised we look for clues
How this could happen and what do we do
So simple when all we did is run and play
Now we must worry about the things we say
Freedoms illusion touches all that we see
Makes us doubtful about what we can be
It may seem to far to reach the highest star
Optimism tried and true relentless shall see us through
Battle life’s demons in the pits of hell
Overcome the want and the need it only takes the faith of a mustard seed
Wisdom is taught and may pass from sight
The lessons you learned taught you wrong from right
Innocence pure unbound and free speaks of hope with clarity
Skimming stones and skipping rope before doubt comes to dash our hope
On the playground we had no cares friends could be found everywhere
When we grow up we come to learn
Friendship is the one thing harder to earn

Takeaways from 2 Years of Duolingo Spanish
Two years ago on this date, I downloaded the Duolingo app for approximately the 15th time. When I’d been inspired to try brushing up on my Spanish in the past, I’d start out hot and heavy only to sputter out after a few weeks of enthusiasm and dedication.
