New Year resolution
New Year resolution
My very first New Year resolve:
Shall retire early at night
Latest by 10 O clock.
Slip into bed, switch off lights.
Say my prayers to the Lord.
Pull up my quilt, close my eyes.
My mind goes wandering about.
Grandfather clock strikes, it’s midnight.
Then it’s quite, no eerie sound.
Counting sheep, making up rhymes!
Drift into sleep, dreams abound.
Wake up, can’t tell day or night.
No bird flutter or a chirpy call.
It’s freezing, pull up my tights.
Wear my slippers, walk to the hall.
Then I have a change of mind,
While pottering about the house;
Early to bed early to rise, suits summertime!
As the kettle makes a hissing sound
I yawn, missing pink dawn light.
Go back to bed, laughing out loud.
New Year resolve goes for a toss, I smile.
I’ll rather wake with the birds' song
And Sun shining, with warmth in it's eyes.
Winter nights are so cold and long,
I really like to wake in broad day light!
Now there is no one to call me lazy or chide
For Mom has been gone a long long time!
It's all good. All resolutions have an unwritten escape clause stating, If you don't stick to it, it's because it wasn't sufficiently challenging ha ha.
now, nobody will wake you up ..you are freeLOL
some times new year resolutions are mere resolutions.hope your one will not be like that...any way lovely poem....cheers
nice poem...
Well, i'm sorry, young missy but my bet is that "Moms" looking down on you right at this moment, and tho' she is mighty proud of the woman you be, and your New Years resolution...especially the goodnight prayer....that she's also saying "Mamta, why are you always on that crazy computer" !lol! Enjoyed this young lady...but something tells me that when it gets to 10 pm there, and it's only 4, 5 or 6pm here, with scads of peeps posting away like banshis cut loose from a zoo-cage, that your New Years resotion may be recalled for REVISION ?! Excellent Penning,Mamta!~FjR~
New Year resolutions I don't make/ They are prone to wintry brake, lol!!!
Nice upbeat write. I never make new year resolutions. I'd lose track too soon. tfs
I meant "late" do excuse the typo
I like this piece on New Year resolutions...in the cold winter it is best to sleep later..
Winter nights are indeed long .smartly written
Winter is hard to rise early but is easy on the body when you have a doggy to walk, like your new year resolution, witty ...regards
