A Happy New Year Poem

The new year is coming (here)

And I wish to remember

What was great

I smile as I think of how

I’ve learned from my mistakes

Everything that happened

Has made me learn some more

Continuously I improve

I’ve definitely grown for sure

What is it I wish?

For this coming year

I write my resolutions

The intention is clear

I want to live a life of purpose

I want to have love and to give

I want to rediscover

What it means to truly live

I wish to define my idea of success

And for this success to attain

And if it is necessary

Not be afraid to change

I want to reflect my purpose

In all of what I do

I want to live life abundantly

And inspire others too

I want to access all the parts of me

And broaden my mind

I want to continuously improve

And develop over time

I want to look back at the year

And know I did my best

I believe all this and more

Is possible

And do expect no less
