NEW YEARS OLD WISHES

NEW YEARS OLD WISHES As each January comes around It’s always the same, I’ve found A feeling as if I’ve run aground It’s time for me to heed the call The strong need to change it all Yet how long will it last this time Maybe it is stamina, I am unsure As my determination is so poor I will promise change once more But I suspect that it will not last Feeling the shame of an icy blast But the future never does rhyme Wishes I make are ever the same No longer to treat life as a game To take the hit, and it will maim Grit my teeth, summon resolve The commitment I must involve Treat this year as a steady climb
