“There are enormous possibilities for one to improve in life, as world is a great university and we are taught through text books of life’s experiences with sagacious sages and savants as our teachers and the precepts of great men who have left a great legacy behind.”-- ~By Poet~ As New Year dawns, promising a fresh start, We pledge to see the graph of life rising in our chart. At this time when all make resolutions many to be won, I have boiled down my resolves to a single one. All I wish is to be a better person in body and mind To love others, forgive my enemies and be kind This is something I have been striving all my life, Get along even with my detractors without strife. Train myself to be considerate to all without exception, Be compassionate to the needy without expectation. Live my life smooth without many a nagging care And never let my heart sink into dull despair. Scrub away all my glaring imperfections clean. Bring healthy practices everyday into my routine. Admire nature and tend it in all its attendant glory. Add memorable and sweeter episodes to my life’s story. Be a loving partner in whom my man can spy, An ocean of love surging in my dewy eye. To my children, ever remain as an adorable mother, A confidante, a friend and guide, giving them succor. Through words and deeds, show them the miracle of love. Teach them to be thankful for the blessings from above. Thus enact my role as a wife and mother in the best way possible, Accepting, for my success and failure, I alone am responsible.

Hey my sweet friend.. Your new years day poem beautifully captures the essence of self-improvement and personal responsibility, particularly at the dawn of a new year. Your desire to become a better person is something we all share, both in mind and body, which is a powerful resolution that many can relate to. The focus on compassion, forgiveness, and kindness, especially toward others and oneself, is inspiring. Hope all your dreams, hopes and aspirations come true in 2025

"All I wish is to be a better person in body and mind To love others, forgive my enemies and be kind This is something I have been striving all my life, Get along even with my detractors without strife." -- In a nut shell, perfect! "To my children, ever remain as an adorable mother, A confidante, a friend and guide, giving them succor." A beautiful poem throughout. A FAV!

Dear sweet valsa, what a beautiful and thoughtful take on the prompt! You are truly a compassionate and considerate soul and that i see and feel through your poetry and interactions too. And i must say this resolution is heart warming to read. One that we all need to read and do too, and strive to be. More kind and loving and compassionate as this world already is a dark cold place! I really love the line “ To love others, forgive my enemies and be kind” this is something i do so fast too. One that can forgive their enemies is truly a strong soul! And I believe you are! Best wishes and sending you light always.
