I know that there have been
Better days than these
I know that there will be
Worse days yet to see
Aborting these resolutions daily
But grace saves me


I thought that this would be the last
(how many times?)
I left you crying
(though you died)
In spite of all you gave to me


A disappointing summer
Decisions made in spring are long forgotten
And winter resolutions
This New Year's affair
Lost by afternoon
