Why is it Hard? New Year Change

Why is it hard
To admit a mistake?
To repent and discard
Bad habits we make?

Ever it's sweet
To change for the good
And honesty meet
Doing as we should

For the new year
And Jesus Christ
Let one change appear
May we each try!

Forgive and forget
And let the past go
That gratitude project
And happiness grow
