Morning Resolution Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

I am not going to sit and cry
Just because someday I am going to die
Oh no! I am going to enjoy this beautiful day

I am going to eat my favourite food
I am going to wear something good
I am going to read an engaging book

I am going to admire beautiful trees
And enjoy the gentle caressing breeze
Smell the flowers, hear the birds sing

I am going to talk to my dear ones
Share all my thoughts and future plans
Work heard and earn as much as I can

I am going to dream the loveliest dreams
Visit places I have never seen
Keep in touch with friends who stood by me

So what if I am going to die tomorrow
What if my breathing ceases now
It would still be the right time to go
