Debra Masky - A New Year's Resolution

They say old is Gold and new is Silver,
But for me memories of the past are

Those that take you to a future.

Every year we make resolutions,

But do we keep them?

some do and some don’t

A resolution I made last year

But kept it only for a day

For every time I tried to keep it up

Something came in my way

And that was the end of my New Year’s Resolution

As I look back to the year that has gone by,

I smile – I think of all the days of that year

Some were good and some were bad

Some were happy and some were sad

And think of how each day I lived and spent

Now the time has come for year to go by

Yet another chance to make another resolution

And I hope to be better than last year

I sigh…………….as I write

Promising to keep the resolution this time.

By bending no rules, I pray,

And hope all and my goals and dreams will be come true!

Sighing again!

I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Debra Masky
