New Year’s Resolution

Another year spreads before us

as yet un-marred by our mistakes,

just as every single day is

when we at first awake.

If only we could be as positive

when each day has run its course

that nothing said or done throughout

gave cause for our remorse.

How great for us and others too,

if only kindly deeds were done,

and our words had lifted others up

as days passed by, one by one.

I cannot change this world at large

no matter what my dreams may be

so maybe I’ll just concentrate

on making changes within me.
