Dear Me in 2013 (A Poem)

Tweet

Dear Me,

I know you are perfect

The way that you are,

But we all can improve some,

Raise the bar.

You’ll eat healthy foods

Dense with nutrition.

You’ll  move your butt more,

You’ll be full of ambition.

You’ll run faster and better,

A new PR achieved.

You’ll pump iron and get stronger

Than you ever believed.

You won’t let the internet

Be so disruptive

To your goals and dreams,

You’ll be more productive!

You’ll read more and write more

With less television.

Less time on the net will be

A conscious decision.

You’ll live in moderation

Enjoying this life.

The good and the bad

Will balance out nice.

Blah Blah Blah,

We have heard it before.

I think we’ll skip this usual

Resolute bore.

Let’s talk about the things

That really matter in life.

Family, great friends, and

Being a wife.

This year you’ll resolve

To be the best version of you.

And not compare yourself

To what others do.

You’ll promise to love yourself

Despite all your flaws.

To strive to love others,

Just because.

You’ll  try to put yourself second

To those in your heart.

Give love freely and openly,

For the most part.

You have so much more

Than you could earn or deserve.

You’ll whine less and praise more,

Without reserve.

Dear Me, these are our plans

For two thousand thirteen.

I pray for the best year

That we’ve ever seen.

And for YOU out there,

Thanks for reading along.

I wish you happiness
And joy all the yearlong.

How about you? What are your New Year's resolutions?  Happy 2013!

Keep Running,

Lea
