MY HOPEFUL RESOLUTIONS
“I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalms 91:2, King James Version
Striving to become better every year
I thank the Almighty for gracious cheer
Upholding me well along divine zest
Knowing my limitations’ frailty pest.
Yes, I have New Year resolution’s list
Which annually takes any turn and twist
Showing carnal weakness of failure blight
As I admit my human nature plight.
Thus, I go on with my faith's prayer wish
That helps me propelled against selfish swish
Doing best, trusting God Who grants wisdom
Along bestowed stewardship freedom.
Still, I’ll continue with my wellness-zeal
Being concerned of weight for good health seal
Lesser sugar, enough water intake
Sufficient rest while mindful to eat cake.
I never will forget to exercise
Sleeping early, so at dawn I arise
Praying to stay strong, vibrantly alright
Blissfully retiring before midnight.
Accepting gray hair, not fretting to age
Taking advantage of young adult stage
May I be resolved to be giving a smile
When mistaken as grandmom for a while.
Of course, I’ll rejoice in the Lord always
As I desire to be glad all my days
And indeed persist to overcome stress
Since I have the Saviour as my fortress.
