Resolutions

What do I improve this year?
What should I resolve?
I guess the object is for us
To magically evolve.

Some people plan a diet,
While others plan to move;
And many focus on a skill
They hope they can improve.

Some vow to break a habit,
Or pledge to travel more;
And some look at relationships
They’re hoping to restore.

Many people join a gym
With fitness as their goal;
And others swear decluttering
Will prove their self-control.

Promises are easy;
It’s keeping them that’s hard.
Most of our intentions
We will quickly disregard.

So I’ll just take a shortcut
And promise not a thing,
And hope that I can handle
What the months ahead will bring.
