What Makes Me Happy
By Nicole Lototska
The first autumn leaf felt on the ground -
That is what makes me happy.
The small drop of rain makes its first sound –
That is what makes me happy.
The first freezing wind blows through the window –
That is what makes me happy.
I am tired. I am home. Here is my pillow -
That is what makes me happy…
I have tried as you see
But let me be me.
I am neither a writer nor a poet
But I have a dream as great King once have had.
My dream is to learn and explore a whole lot
The problem is only with what I have not.
Ukraine is facing its hardest times now
And if I had money, now they’d said ciao.
My father had died when I was only two
And my mom has been working to try to break through.
I would love to help but I am so young
That everything I can is to use my own tongue.
I am doing that well, as I’ve been great taught
In my speaking class I found my own spot.
Switzerland is a great country, but there is one but
It is a neutrality, while I am not.
The middle of argument isn’t for me
I’m always the one who cannot agree.
Communications major is for those who are free
Who can’t just keep calm and drink his/her tea.
Communications for those who want to inspire
We all know what that does require.
You now kind of know me; let me tell you my dream
I have this great though; I’ve made my own scheme.
I am from Ukraine but study in Rome
It is a nice place, as says Google Chrome.
I’ve met this one girl, she’s tall; that’s not all
She’s neither from London, nor from great china’s wall.
Hawaii is the place she is calling her home
But now she’s in Rome.
When Ashley, Hawaiian, describes her own place
Tears are in her eyes and sad is her face.
So here’s the reason I want me to try
To go to HPU, and let me tell you why.
I want to be able to look high in the sky
Right after I have said: Hawaii goodbye.
I’ll tell about it one summer night
And what I will do – I will cry.
This place will remain in my heart, in my mind
I’ll be impressed, as would any human kind.
I’ll study, I’ll learn, I’ll explore, I’ll find out
What is my life suppose to be about.
What can make me happy? Was it a question?
My answer is - my own progression.
I will succeed, and Hawaii’s the right choice
I hope you have heard my words and my voice.
