Resolutions Never Fulfilled
I made them freely in the past--
then broke them one by one.
The hardest often didn't last
till setting of the sun:
I'll exercise an hour or more
each day and lose some weight.
I'll leave the junk food at the store
and fix a veggie plate.
I'll watch TV five hours per week
instead of five per day.
I'll find new challenges and seek
a better, brighter way.
**************************
This New Year's promise--What a gem!--
I pray won't be too trying.
This time I just resolved, to HIM,
that I would stop my lying.
