Lord Make a Regular Man Out of Me New Year Prayer

A poetic prayer seeks to become braver bolder wiser kinder and more generous in the new year. The speaker asks to be fairer quicker to help others and less prone to blame, aiming to be truer and more of a doer with broader generosity.

The piece argues slogans and New Year resolutions offer little help. True progress comes from steady daily effort, reading, pondering, and applying oneself without waiting for magical motivation or catchy phrases.
