My Five New Year's Resolutions
I'll call those I love one day each week,
just because I love to hear them speak.
I will use much less ocean-clogging plastic
as Earth's situation becomes more drastic.
I will help those who can't help themselves
knowing need can't be left upon the shelves.
I'll continue feeding birds, bunnies, squirrels,
and hope next year will bring a better world.
And, a year from now, putting 2022 behind,
I hope I can say, above all else, I was kind.
