The times I’ve resolved to lose weight I have found
By the end of that year I have gained 15 pounds!
By resolving to exhibit some patience, I’ve gotten
More opportunities to be more patient, how rotten!
Those years that the Gym election was made
Pulled muscles and limping were how I was paid!
It seems the more “new” things that I plan
By February, those “things” get out of hand!
My attempts to be more flexible have been
Thwarted when my OCD has kicked in!
Each time that I’ve tried to improve what I’ve got
I’ve found that I’m very content with my lot
So, last night, when I heard the New Years bell ring,
I resolved, right then, not to change a damned thing!
Loved it and agree! I think by this age of wisdom that last line is warranted!!

Wonderful conclusion! As we get “older/bolder,” I find myself being more content with what I have and less wanting other things that I honestly don’t need. I love your poetry – it’s so down to earth and practical.
