NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

Let's drink to New Year BUT not too much wine

Coz I wake next morning not feeling too fine.

My pulse starts a racin' and a throb in my head

No way to start a New Year, wishing I was dead.

I get through the day dragging my feet

Whining to every poor soul that I meet

No, this year I vowed to say no to all drinks

and not care whatever anyone thinks

and also say no to eating too much

I'll be extra strong no food will I touch

I will wake up next morning to start the New Year

to all I meet spreading hope and good cheer

Resolutions in hand marching into the year

Meeting challenges with confidence, nothing to fear

That does sound good I think you'll agree

I'm confident this will be the new me

Ring Ring Someone calling to wish me good cheer

Or a distant friend wishing we were near

A party you say, New Years Eve, lots of food

Good friends to put you in a good mood

Of course I made your favourite dish

Bought your favourite wine, hmm too good to miss

Decisions, decisions what will I do

Give in to temptation or be strong and true

Maybe I’ll go and have one little bite

One small drink - make it last all night

Who am I kidding, what are parties for?

Family and friends and lots lots more

Forget about drink concentrate on good cheer

And a feeling of goodwill that lasts all year

Resolutions are fine, so are good times together

And love for each other that lasts forever

My intentions are good in every way

I’ll start my resolutions another day!
