A New Year Beckons

A time to live up to

Potential

Or become a better

Person

Or develop muscles

Better Pecs

Or finally complete

My to-do list

(The one begun in 1979)

Or?

Accept imperfections

Beginning with self.

Go ahead

Admit your faults,

Or shortcomings

Or flaws

Stand up to you

For you.

Now forgive yourself

And move on.
