I will not eat, I will not eat

Any sugary valueless treat --

I'll only eat, I'll only eat

Fruit, grains, nuts, veggies, and lean meat.

I'll read my Bible every day,

I'll meditate, and then I'll pray.

Off to the gym, once again I go,

Before these bulges grow and grow 

             Hugs,     Julie

My only resolve this New Year's day

To embrace life in every way

A Kind (of) Resolution 

This year, letting go

seems better than holding on:

waving goodbye to certain sorrows,

waving hello to certain dawn.

Who knows what new may flow

when what is over is gone?

Constance, again let me thank you.  Writing that put a lump in my throat - of the good kind when you hit upon a truth.  This challenge is a great idea, and I love that you gave us some rhyme structure to help contain and shape this.  Bless you.

 Bless YOU, Kate!  Your poem strikes a strong chord in many of us, I'm sure.  If we could tattoo your poem on one side of our brain, and Bobby's on the other... What possibilities!
