NEW YEARS OLD WISHES
NEW YEARS OLD WISHES
As each January comes around
It’s always the same, I’ve found
A feeling as if I’ve run aground
It’s time for me to heed the call
The strong need to change it all
Yet how long will it last this time
Maybe it is stamina, I am unsure
As my determination is so poor
I will promise change once more
But I suspect that it will not last
Feeling the shame of an icy blast
But the future never does rhyme
Wishes I make are ever the same
No longer to treat life as a game
To take the hit, and it will maim
Grit my teeth, summon resolve
The commitment I must involve
Treat this year as a steady climb
