"Determination Can Make Happiness Stay"

 

From a distant, he saw a small light
Following it, he found the right way
Darkness gone, the world turned bright

Looking behind, he saw the blight
In the darkness, he refuses to stay
From a distant, he saw a small light

To the light, he set his sight
For warmth, he's willing to pay
Darkness gone, the world turned bright

The path he took, it it right?
The road he takes, is it okay?
From a distant, he saw a small light

For the future, he must fight
To succeed, he must go all the way
Darkness gone, the world turned bright

To the remaining hope, he held it tight
In his heart, he continuously pray
From a distant, he saw a small light
Darkness gone, the world turned bright

What is a Villanelle?

 

A villanelle (also known as villanesque) is a nineteen-line poetic form consisting of five tercets followed by a quatrain. There are two refrains and two repeating rhymes, with the first and third line of the first tercet repeated alternately until the last stanza, which includes both repeated lines. The villanelle is an example of a fixed verse form. The word derives from Latin, then Italian, and is related to the initial subject of the form being the pastoral.
