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
