Promises To Myself A Poem


Miles go before I sleep.
The<b> famous </font></b>line from
The poet Robert Frost.
In his poem
Stopping by Woods On A Snowy Evening
The sentiment held for me.
As I to had promises to keep.

I made a promise to do
A certain task or chore
These matter
Only to me mind you.
But I am the one
Who will beat me up
If I fail do what
I promised myself.

They are inconsequential
A new year's resolution
That I have kept so far.
How do you like that?
I have not given up
But I have had instances
Where it was not
Really necessary
But a promise I made
That I can keep
Versus so many in my life
That I failed deliver.

To be fair
They are goals
Goals are promises to oneself.
I used to break those
Like they were going
Out of style!
I had my reasons
Of the moment.
But mostly lack of energy
And will power.

But tonight I will keep
Those promises to myself.
I won't sleep I do
Luckily I have nothing
Planned for the morning.
It certainly helps
When you have
A flexible schedule!

OMG. Thank you for saying that. It makes me feel so much better about myself. I had delusions of grandeur that I was on par with Robert Frost. Thank you for taking me down a peg...or few pegs. LOL
