A New Year’s Resolution Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Thinking of a declaration of what to do
For the rest of the year seems ridiculous
Making resolutions to recover and improve
For one who is spontaneous, not meticulous

On the chance that there is something to it
I’ll take a silent vow with fingers crossed
Avoiding excessive disheartening thoughts
Accepting a cheerful view does not exhaust

Well so far, so good …it is already day four
Although my mood is not jubilant it is fair
Calamities from the past remain in a drawer
The sun shines as I give thanks with a prayer
