So - - - 2024

Resolutions for the year, Does anybody keep them? But just for kicks I'll make myself a list then . . . Be up by seven - no - eight In the morning. Keep snooze as a backup For a more relaxed dawning . . . Though three items is all You seem to recall, Can't you find a way to Remember more - say four? And STOP saying sorry! You know it irritates. And self doubt and insecurities It exacerbates. And you know that Superwoman Is too far from what you are So stop beating yourself up... No one can reach the stars. You'll save yourself embarrassment If at times you smile and nod along. Don't make it so obvious That you've no clue what's going on! And when the penny drops. It's not a sudden revelation. Remember, you're just catching up With those in your association. Don't make yourself those promises That you know you cannot keep. Such as losing weight Or getting better sleep. You're obscure, unique A little quirky and quite strange. This is how you're known and loved. It's important. DO NOT change! (By Poet)
