Notes About The Poem

In This Coming New Year

In this coming new year-  I plan changes,
oh, I would like to burn this past year to ashes;
not seeking a metamorphose either.

Because there are parts of me that shine and glitter,
but there are parts with pain that I must leave;
and I will succeed because I believe.
          I have strength and courage,
          will not be held hostage;
          I am a survivor,
          grief will not be my anchor.

Each day, I will be thankful for my home,
because some only have the streets to roam;
and the days and long nights can be so cold.

I will promise that more poems will unfold,
I intend to study more and read books;
fiction, poetry, and cookbooks.
          My words will be quiet,
          calm will be my spirit;
          serenity will me mine,
          and happiness will twine.
