NEW YEAR

Poem by Charles Frederickson
Graphic by Saknarin Chinayote 




revived hope positive energy vibes
fast-forward aspirations reconfigured priorities
resolving to stay healthy eating
properly exercising all fitness regimes

optimistic outlook focused courage determination
tolerance kindness compassion reconfigured me
following inner consciousness back roads
paving under construction bumpy detours

stalled idle engine revved up
shifting gears from neutral into
accelerated highs rearview mirror perspectives
remapping way to go outlook

continuous learning practice making excellence
doing what you love doing
living as if this is
all there is perhaps true

trusting destiny goal achieving it
seemingly impossible until it’s done
achievements balancing prideful self-respect options
never settling for second best

expressing knowingness however you choose
better being wise than clever
recognizing unlimited potential nurturing capabilities
memory sightseeing along sentimental journey

embracing what’s never been lost
letting go of what no longer
serves your needy wanton desires
deciding what’s best for YOU
