New Years Resolutions This year has hurried along much too fast, I toasted the new year in with Champagne. My thoughts in the future I try to cast, As this year comes to an end once again. Resolutions I have made one after the other, A few for each year that has gone by. This year I will bring a few from undercover, Will I keep them? at least I will try. No one knows the efforts that I make, My resolutions are mainly too bold. I find that there are too many chances to take, And resolutions remind me that I am old. One I will make for all of mankind, to help them on their way through life. One I have often on my struggling mind, I resolve to keep peace no more strife. I resolve to be more gentle and kind, To fight my battles one by one in my sweet home. For resolutions get harder to find, And I have lost my want this world to roam. © Bernard Shaw [log in to unmask] http://members.chello.at/bernard.shaw/poetry.html
