At the beginning of each year we always make resolutions that will be our guide for the entire year but we don’t really stick to them, this coming year make a point of living up to your resolutions. On New Year’s Day a year ago,I started off the yearBy making resolutionsThat were probably severe. I said I’d save my money,As this seemed so very wise.I vowed I would improve my health.I swore I’d exercise. I stated I would do my homeworkEvery single day.I’d brush my teeth religiouslyTo ward off tooth decay. I’d eat my fruits and vegetablesand keep my bedroom clean.I’d treat my sister kindlyThough she’s often very mean. My resolutions lasted meAbout a half a day.I promised I would keep themBut I broke them anyway. So now I’m fat and penniless.My homework’s overdue.My sister’s mad. My teeth are bad.My room is messy too. And yet I think I may have foundThe best of all solutions,And this coming year I’ve resolvedTo stick to my resolutions. iruikmo@yahoo.com
