New Year's Resolutions
- Iram Khan
Just think think think,
Of things you can do,
To make yourself better,
Before the year's through.
Resolutions can be tough,
Or simple as can be,
Making resolutions,
Are great for you and me!
So what will you promise,
To help yourself my dear
Through (insert year),
Have a happy new year!
