That time of year is here again, in just a couple of days,

When resolutions will define us, our  minds are set ablaze.

But why do wait we to change, to make new amends,

When we have the entire prior year, I guess it all depends.

Lose some weight, be a little nicer, these are things to strive for,

But why doesn’t it ever last, despite the steady roar.

So here we are, and in this time of renewal,

All I really ask for, is just a little time, to think and to refuel.

So I hope that when I wake up, in oh so many days,

I’m still on a steady course, to mend and change my ways.

Renewal
