Promises are easy to break,
when everyday stresses give-and-take.
So, why would one resolve to do,
they later regret or have to fake?

To stay the course may not be wise,
but doing something different just lies.
We are all in the same moving boat,
takes gumption, just keeping it afloat.

Let's all take in a brand-new year,
tackle our problems with verve, not fear.
Our mugs may be only half full,
but it's better than half empty by any rule.

Be resolute, don't give a hoot,
to what others say or do.
You know what you have ahead,
take care of the real, you.

One thing is for certain. Everything will be
higher resolution in the future. RWH
