Everyday Resolution


A new year whispers a promise,
sweet surrender of laughing out loud.
A gift to hold and honor,
embracing soft conversations of the heart.
The voices echo in the universe,
be kind to a gentle soul,
be patient to one that struggles,
listen and lift a lonely heart.
As I continue on this journey,
living with a loud conscious awarness.
Today, every day of my life.

    I like "be patient to one that struggles" (I like all of it really but this one stands out). I have always had trouble to be patient and the truth is everyone struggles. This is something I am going to work on this year
