New Years Day... I Promise? Poem by Jay AndersonTaylor

On this day I have forged a new goal, it is

an eternal promise made from my soul. With

honest eyes and good intent, it was a

promise that I really meant to keep. A

better me and a new destination, no more

foolishness and no more frustrations. I

leave behind me much aggravation and oh

yes, let me not forget my old temptations.

I also promise to make it to my holy place

each and every seventh day? Except if there

is a good football game... and maybe an

occasional rainy day? Well maybe I'm being a

little hard on myself? An occasional curse

word has never hurt and maybe I could have

just one last drink? Come to think of it...

maybe next year I could do these things? Yes,

these promises I have made will be my goal for next

New Years Day!
