My 2023 Resolutions

M y heart is joyfully raised to Thee, Oh Lord I implore
Y our loving guidance and grace for what’s in my heart’s core

T his year, I promise to renew my vow to Thee
W hatever I do, I’ll always do my best in Your glory 
E arnestly, I’ll  perform all my duties at work
N ever leave my side, Lord--grant me strength and good health 
T o be patient at all times in my journey with many children
Y our image and great love be seen in me and in my talents 

T his year, I’ll give more time to take care of myself
W atch the foods I eat, drinks and take time to rest
E very weekend, I’ll go for massage, join recreations 
N ever give up my exercises like aerobics or sports
T ake time to swim at nearby swimming pools
Y es! I’ll also do gardening. That’s fun and cool!

T his year, I want deeper spiritual encounter with God
H ave lots of time for prayers and singing hymns-- I’ll be glad 
R enew my baptism through recollections and consecration
E mpower my spiritual life through constant adoration 
E nrich discipleship through charity, spread God’s words. 

R emind myself always that I’m not getting any younger
E stablish better time management to accomplish faster
S ave list of events, take notes and reminders  
O ptimism should always be carried on my shoulders
L earn to control my expenses, save for my future
U rgent needs and charity are priorities and no more 
T each my children how to recycle, reuse and reduce
I nstill in their mind, the value of saving earth, not abuse
O ne of my educator’s program this year is a mission
N ew campaign of saving  Mother Earth for next generations 
S o help me God that I’ll abide in all my New Year’s resolutions.

Feel so much inspired by your resolutions for 2023. Nothing is amiss in your wish list. All given in the order of priority; your physical and spiritual health, your bonding with God and your concern for Mother Earth. More than the rating you got, I enjoyed your poem dear Len. May God help you fulfill those resolutions.
