POEM: Resolutions

I’m not the kind of New Year’s Eve resolutions gal.
When the magic night between the years comes,
I hold on to the moment.
I raise the glass.
I kiss my love on the lips.
I wish for a happier new year.
What else do people have on their minds when the new year is here?
Read more books.
Travel more.
Exercise more.
Lose more weight.
Spend more time with friends and family.
Go to all the new restaurants in town.
Quit smoking.
Get married.
Find a new job.
I don’t say any of these things to myself at twelve o’clock when the old year leaves and the new one knocks at the door.
I would be disappointed should any of them not be achieved by the end of the new year.
Instead, I let it surprise me with its best to give.
And I simply say,
Happy New Year!
And I hope for the happiest of it.
