Poem

The New Year's soon upon us now;
  A time to think about just how
I plan to see my year renew,
  Perhaps, improve on things I do,
Which are much better, and I pray,
  They're not an act of whim or play.

There are so many choices to
  Consider as I think it through;
What is best for my solution
  Of a New Year’s resolution?
For, based on other years before,
  They’re good but easy to ignore.

So, now, this year, a different plan-
  One which will surely fill the span
Of one whole year, never to end;
  Be joyful in the task, attend
A resolution meant to last,
  Not end in days just like in past-

Of which, I will be very proud
  To share and talk about out loud.
I will resolve to be just me;
  Enjoy my life, forever free,
To help my friends and family too
  Just like the way I always do.

To give and take with gracious care,
  And spread the joy of life with flair.
To do all things the best I can,
  And finish all that I began.
To seek all ways to lend a hand
  In gentleness without command.

To always see the glass half-full,
  And even when dark days will pull
Me down a bit, to realize 
  The sun will shine with bright blue skies,
The tears will dry, and then a smile
  Will fill my heart to last a while.

To count my blessings, say my prayer
  For peace to come and fill the air
All ‘round the earth among all men
  And women, children, so again
Sweet peace will rule our precious lands
  And God will shield us in His hands.

So now instead of one big thing
  For New Year’s resolution fling—
I’ll promise to fill up my days
  In all the ordinary ways
I’ve done so many years before,
  And never let them seem a chore.

I will resolve to be just me-
  Enjoy my life, forever free,
To give and take with gracious care,
  And spread the joy of life with flair;
To love my friends and family too
  Just like the way I always do.
