A Better Me

Mirror on the wall
Mirror in my soul
What do you show
Of this last year gone by?
Struggles and triumphs
A mixed bag of experience
Lessons and life
Reflected as one
None with regret
None with disdain
For all have contributed
To this who I am
Gratitude filled
For a life lived, and still living
I take no giant leap
No declared resolutions
Just because it is New Year
My building and growing
Happen every day of my existence
Perhaps this time is for planning
Assessing what I have done
But no more important
Than the rest of my life
For if I fail in the first week
The year is not done
I choose each day
To look into my soul
To look into the mirror
In pursuit of
An improved version of me
