Then burst on the scene taking me
By surprise.
I was just getting used to 2022.
I'm not one for making
Resolutions, but if I were, I'd
Resolve to worry less in the
New year and trust God more.
I'd savor each day, set aside times
For friends and sleep in.
I'd stick to my diet, but treat
Myself to something sweet now
And then.
I'd dispense hugs and smiles without
End.
I'd give my quiet time priority.
I'd look past peoples' outer features
And try to see their inner qualities and
Struggles, to listen rather than talk so
Much.
(A hard one for sure.)
I'd discard items I no longer use or
Need.
I'd take more risks, not assuming that
Things will always turn out badly, but
That they may end up being
Surprisingly good.
I'd be willing to be stretched.
If I made resolutions for 2023,
These are a few that would be on
My list.
