NEW YEARS PROMISE

Hopes for another year
destiny unhinged given
wings new years resolutions
success or dismay where
desire is laden often frayed
at the outset.

An anniversary of digested
promise daintily displayed
when do we have true custody
of it within the compassion of
our display.

They who curb enthusiasm
may have hidden passion deposited.
those the words of the enthusiastic
big mouth fantastic when obstacles
become hurdles jumped.

A new years promise a single persona
on display take from it what you may.

New Years Promises

Ziggy I do not know why people make promises - When you know that others find it impossible to keep. All I know When I make a promise it is for keeps. I just take each day at a time what else is there? Electric Blue
