RESOLUTION

RESOLUTION Resolve can be such a transient thing Commit to living this next year anew Leave the old behind and forget the bling But first one admits what is really true One makes this promise to oneself again A resolution that may last a week Good intentions will merely leave a stain It is as if some voice inside must speak It’s an exercise in humility Conceding that perfection never was It is more like a kind of fantasy As I try to live in this Land of Oz I promise not to write stuff like before But here we go again - I’ve written more
