Last Resolution

Another year has passed

Very much like the last

More lessons were learned

A few fingers burned

Now it’s time for solutions

To make new resolutions

To strive for improvement

Through uplifting movement

But, once past the pale

Most resolutions, they fail

Then I found, long ago

A new path I could go

A new way I could live

Where I’d get what I give

No more promises to keep

No more failures to weep

Just accept what may come

And hope I will grow some

Doing rather than hoping

A better manner of coping

A better promise now resolved

With all future ones dissolved

Not just giving, nor all taking

A measure of fate I’m making

And I ended my confusion

With that one last resolution
