New Years Resolution (English Sonnet)

Kick off your old shoes and try another
Fit them to your heel as they will contour
Practice and exercise can change your mind
As new footing in foreign grounds will assure
It may be tight- uncomfortable even
But take those first few steps and sign your name
To personalize these cold feet to fit
Making amends to your neglecting blame
And cherish those past familiarities
That helped your legs shake off the worst of them
Marking progress to your unknown potential
Pacing this lap for faster momentum
Until the day you understand its means
The ends may continue regretful scenes
