January, My Friend

January, my friend,

I don't want to remember yester
year in hallow of hurt and pain;
it erodes my joy.

Resolutions that I had done before,
have passed unfulfilled
and un-nurtured.

January, my friend,

I want to see optimism glow
once again in me; rekindling a new
fire to change my self for the better.

January, my friend,

Please guide me to happiness
with your invisible crystal ball.

Well written poem Teddy! Resolutions really come and go - time passes and we wonder what happened to the goals we set. Nicely done!
