Some may take them casually
as the ball slowly drops,
other's take them seriously
as the flakes fall from the night sky...
So many resolutions on my long to-do list
how will choose my second chance?
Debating for the upcoming year
while I wander to a place of reasoning...
I've been wanting to finish that scrapbook,
the one for my little bundle of joy,
for when she grows old she will feel
secure in my love for no one but her.
I never finished college...
I married so very young,
I would love to become a graphic designer,
a strong woman accomplishing
life long goals as I gradually step older
every passing year...
See, I may have very little money this year...
but there are many people much more
deserving than I...
Homelessness is an epidemic these days and I too
have been unfortunate in my earlier days.
If only I could pamper myself more.
There's the kids, the animals and very little time...
I'll call up my sister to go get a manicure
or finally get my hair cut,
it's been over a year and
I am just too busy and I don't want
to waste any money on myself...but...why?
I too deserve to feel pretty,
to look in the mirror and enjoy what
reflection is staring back at me.
Some may take them casually
as the ball slowly drops,
Other's take them seriously
as the flakes fall from the night sky...
So many resolutions on my long to-do list
how will I choose my second chance?
Wishing for the upcoming year
to accomplish all my declarations
and attaining my confidence
for the very first time.
