You Have Arrived

The New Year is finally here, and the excitement is over. How fast did this year appear, my mind is trapped in yesteryear. Because of failed accomplishments, and shattered dreams I held dear. What will this new year entail? will I reach my goals? Or fail? Whatever is the case I must try, to live my dreams to no avail. Will I make a new year's resolution? No I feel bad when I have nothing to show. I will continue set goals whether I fail or not, all that really matters is I gave it my best shot. This new year I plan to live my life with zest, by not looking back, however it's a difficult test. 1-6-18

Most times, life is what you make it, or in the short whiles, what others make it for you. Never lose your self-esteem, Push through, enjoy the new horizons! Live for the day, the morrow? Live it too, pray it comes!

BRAVO! I must also leave a wow for your progress, dear poetess! (is poetess right?) Live in the flow, when things don't glow, I know I am out of the universal flow and am being prompted back. Keeping that in mind to live my days is my resolution. Just sharing. Speaking of flow this poem sweetly and smoothy did just that. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
