New Years Resolutions
The new year has arrived
and I made a list to be prized
of resolutions I hope to keep
and a promise to myself not to weep
in case they are broken and forgotten,
making me feel guilty and rotten,
the first one on the list is to save money,
making my hubby sweet as honey,
another one is learning a foreign language,
perhaps studying French would be an advantage,
especially if I win a trip to romantic France
by entering a contest and taking a chance,
on the bottom of the list and carried from year to year,
it is on keeping up with household chores which I fear,
this one makes me feel lIke a robot for my entire life,
a mechanical housekeeper and hardworking wife,
it is replaced with a happy thought,
something which makes sense and is not wrought,
it comes from the heart and that is being kind
to all I meet throughout the year which I do not mind.
