A YEAR IN PASSING
January wakes us weary,
New resolutions pressing heavy.
Then comes February’s charm—
A month of love, or wasted calm.
We march ahead into March,
Preparing for the chill to lurch.
April brings the planting days,
As a third of the year slips away.
Hope returns with open skies,
Maybe this month—maybe May.
June arrives with quiet tunes,
We wish the world would feel okay.
Halfway through, we

Resolutions Require Resolve
A resolution requires resolve
if the problem it is to solve
A week or two just won’t do
when a year’s required of you
Strength’s counsel, please admit

Resolutions
Read last year's diary
Ridiculous targets.
Regime for dieting
Recipes for weight loss
Resounding disaster
Reach for more chocolate!
Rip up aims for next year
Realise they're futile!

RESOLUTIONS
Ready for New Year flight
Redeemed souls shout blest plight
Restored hearts turn aright
Renewed* minds reach great height
Revived lives now delight
Reaching-out with faith's might
Rejoicing in God’s light
*Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,

Resolutions Never Fulfilled
I made them freely in the past--
then broke them one by one.
The hardest often didn't last
till setting of the sun:
I'll exercise an hour or more
each day and lose some weight.
I'll leave the junk food at the store
and fix a veggie plate.
I'll watch TV five hours per week
instead of five per day.
I'll find new

The Resolution Door
Back against "The Resolution Door"
the first thing that hits you is the
depravity, then self-loathing follows
close behind. Then just when hoping
the first thought was getting better.
That you're getting the upper-hands
and there can't be too much longer.
The head goes light, as the light goes
out.
When the lights come on, reality sets
in.
Obstructed by

New Year, Same Me
No matter what I do
I am the same
I am the same little girl
all those years ago
No matter what I do
the world is still as grey
as all those years ago
New year, new me
the same insecure teenager
crying over her stale hair
Resolutions becoming unkept promises
school feeling like a second home
gone before dawn back after

A New Year Already
The whole world is super hopped up about the New Year
Each divinely guided year. In this atmosphere
There are countless unattainable resolutions
The world is marked with by passion and stunning emotions
Some are in a gleeful mood, and others are wiping away tears
Of happiness, tears of skepticism, tears of fear
And tears of compassion. A new year is

New Year Resolutions Everyone Should Share
Have you ever read the same book but a different story, there's a saying for that phenomenon
Scatter brained
I just finished my Saturday morning coffee and chocolate chip muffin complimented by my current read
It's that time of the year again deja vu
So, I pull out my pen and begin to write about how to become a

No Resolutions
New Year's resolutions are indeed must
If only you can your, confidence trust
At this time people are emotional
Not to mention, they are irrational
Foolishly make big decisions in haste
reflecting on them when that goes to waste
A never resting wheel of human hope
That we are yet to learn a way to cope
So, our tryst with destiny never ends
In

New Year's Resolutions and Prayers for 2024
Looking forward to 2024:
Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the one who does not walk in the steps of the wicked
that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose
delights are in the Lord, and who mediates on his law day and
night. That person is a tree planted by streams of water, which
yields its

MY HOPEFUL RESOLUTIONS
“I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” Psalms 91:2, King James Version
Striving to become better every year
I thank the Almighty for gracious cheer
Upholding me well along divine zest
Knowing my limitations’ frailty pest.
Yes, I have New Year resolution’s list
Which annually takes any
