The New Year is here yet again……..
With enthusiasm and hope I turn my sights to this new beginning and all the wonderful opportunities before me.
This is a poem I wrote a few years back on Resolutions. I hope that it resonates with you. Blessings……..
Resolutions
A Christmas come and gone once more…
Another year of one’s own lore,
To contemplate and create anew…
The coming year’s resolves, a few.
To write upon the weary pages,
Of one’s own heart, alive yet faded.
Resolutions made and lost,
Triumphs yes, disappointments, cost.
To look at one’s own life and see
The need to change, to grow to be
A kinder, patient, more loving soul,
Rekindle hope in one’s own role,
As giver to the one’s we love,
A calming presence, a peaceful dove.
So far from this I clearly see,
The many flaws that make up me.
Yet hope I choose to hold on to,
The belief in Change Within, Renew.
For in one’s change within, alone,
Lies the key to the difference shown…
In every smile and happy face,
The difference from despair, to grace.
