Here We Are Again, Another Year

December 31, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is New Year’s Day.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A Happy New Year poem about making resolutions year after year:

Here we are again, another year!

Another chance to change, to do things better.

Praised be those who still believe and care!

Praised be hope, that would the will unfetter.

Yes, we know we’ve been through this before,

New Year after New Year. Yet we still

Endure in our desire for something more,

Wind-borne across bare treetops, bleak and chill.

Yes, we know our resolutions are

Easy to make and break, and still we make them;

And still pursue our dreams beyond the bar,

Resolved as ever, never to forsake them.
