Resolve Poem by Shaun Cronick

As this year creeps slowly toward it's final end,
My thoughts again arise of faults which I might mend.
I'll make a New Year's resolution of things that I can see,
And make myself the person I'd really like to be.

I'll be resolved to keep myself in cheerful frame of mind,
To forget myself and harder try to others to be kind.
To put myself more often in other people's shoes,
And not begrudge a word of praise to give them their just does.

I'll say no word to hurt a friend when silent I could stay,
I'll do nothing to cause another's foot to go astray.
I'll do my daily tasks in the way they should be done,
And I'll not forget that all of us need just a little fun.

So let's unite and all try hard these few things to do,
Our world would be a pleasant spot if you'd adopt them too.
When the end of next year rolls around perhaps we all will see,
That we've become the very one we always hoped to be!
