You're so right. The past always clouds our view of the future and influences what actually happens in the future. The best attitude is to make a new start. Your poem is lovely and carries an excellent message.

Wow! A great poem but what a way to start a New Year. I hope the chain is broken but if not it's time to seriously think about it. Habits are very difficult to break and it sounds as though this is what has happened. I am assuming that this is a juxtaposition and you have the knack of putting yourself into someone else's shoes.
This poem is excellent. Very good job.

Happy new year to you too! This was such a good new years poem to read, as it brought the real spirit of renewal that this season holds. Praying that God will let this year be different and refreshing. Great job!

A unique look back at the past year (s) and a look forward to the unknown new year. This is well formulated and I enjoyed reading it. Thanks and a Good New Year to you, too.

This is a wonderfully thoughtful poem, encompassing both past and what the future holds in store. Your poem instilled a sense of hope in this reader. It flowed so smoothly creating many images. Excellent. bard owl

Hi diane,
A very well written poem showing that it is best to let the past go and with the new year, a new beginning. Loved the form and the flow is excellent leaving a clear meaning. Thank you for sharing this. God bless and best wishes!

I pray not to be a fool as well, I tend to interfere with God's plans though, am always getting in His way, but thankfully He is good ( very good I might add) at teaching me valuable lessons when I do.

I bid the New Year
"Welcome,"
And on bended knees,
Most reverently pray
To God Almighty
That I am not a fool.
So do I! Don't we all wish that we are not fools! This poem takes us on a journey of thoughts...is the past an indication of the future? I don't know.
well done

I like this poem. The personification of New year was creative. I felt the poem could have benefitted with punctuation through out the poem, but the lack thereof did not take away from the poem. Great work!
Happy New Year!
