On this day I have forged a new goal, it is
an eternal promise made from my soul. With
honest eyes and good intent, it was a
promise that I really meant to keep. A
better me and a new destination, no more
foolishness and no more frustrations. I
leave behind me much aggravation and oh
yes, let me not forget my old temptations.
I also promise to make it to my holy place
each and every seventh day? Except if there
is a good football game... and maybe an
occasional rainy day? Well maybe I'm being a
little hard on myself? An occasional curse
word has never hurt and maybe I could have
just one last drink? Come to think of it...
maybe next year I could do these things? Yes,
these promises I have made will be my goal for next
New Years Day!
