New Year's Resolution

Year in, year out, we make our vows,

Refuse the milk from sacred cows.

Build sheds of dreams, brick by brick,

Re-light our candle, trim our wick.

Step forth into the New Year bold

Tell again the tales re-told.

Sure that now we’ll get it right

Live fully in our self-lit light.

Free as the wind, our chains unbound

Until once more the year winds down.

Puzzles still with no solution
Again, our New Year’s Resolution.
