1st Of December Poem by Sylvia Chidi

1st Of December

Rating: 3.2


You must remember
Tomorrow is the first of December
It is time to start thinking
Of your new year resolutions
Avoid unnecessary temptations
Prevention is better than finding solutions

Give up the cigarette
Forget the day you first met

Give to the poor
Not after but before

Greet the elderly
With respect very carefully

Think of positive change
It is always there at close range

Give up the booze
It only stinks of ooze

Set aside time to pray
Set aside time to play
If you have to
Why not change your ways

Tomorrow is the first of December
Remember, a new beginning
Is always the way forward to winning

What a lovely, forward-looking poem. Especially liked the line Give to Poor, not aftward but before. Positive attitude.
