new year resolution

Lord, caring for people, though rewarding, is taxing and at times hope wells up where it might be best if it didn't, and the disapointment that follows takes its toll; and i know you do your best to keep me whole with what access my stubborn heart limits you to. i feel as adam might have before he was with eve.

a new year's resolution:
sensitivity for guys is to exist, feelings and emotions too; but to show them with abandon is expected to be a rare occasion, its reasons and intentions already considered with time before respectful expression. most tears should never leave the eyes that those that fall may be precious in their selflessness. this will become my mantra of sensitivity.

i won't put on a mask because i cherish sincerity too much; but what i do or say or do not, it's to look out for the best interests of the ones i love; restraint is not acting.
