Ah, HG,
What a lovely French Qautern!
There is nothing more inspiring than wiping the slate clean and starting all over … well, for most of us it's a lovely dream, but we all need our dreams, eh?
Nice rhymes, too, and a good flow. A few lines out of count, but are easy fixes.
For best presentation, consider centering and trying a nicer font … perhaps, with color and in italics.
Just sharing teacher thoughts. : )
I've very much enjoyed this one, Mary Jo … thank you for the new year treat! ⁓ Richard 😊
Don't you love how the site takes dashes and turns them into quotation marks(I?) … LOL!
Try using a series of hyphens, thusly:

Though my words are positive ones they are totally opposite of the way the reality of life can sometimes be ~ “much easier said than done”.
I appreciate the suggestions you’ve given me but I do much of my posting/reading/commenting from my phone which limits the presentation options necessary to improve the visual of the posted piece ~ but I’ll make the suggested edits when I get back to my laptop.
Thanks again for sharing your valuable time to review and comment on this one my dear friend. 🌹
Your post goes back a few years, but, has travelled well. Holds thoughts and hopes for life much better, calmer, closer and warm.
Possibility can convert into probability, given strength and belief: ' .Let go of hateful thoughts today
One year ends ... a new one begins - Live, love ~ be happy everyday - Let hate go and make amends'
Gentle thoughts, fine copntent, grand poetry. Thank you so much for still inspiring.
This is a little too optimistic for me to swallow but I like the theme. To think of things in a positive light is very important however, I just have a difficult time.
I always love the idea of new beginnings! What a beautiful reminder that the past is the past and future is the future.

"One year ends ... a new one begins " I like how this line started off at the top then 2nd & 3rd lines of your stanzas (in my eyes it shows the writer's efforts and that the writer takes pride in her/his work as well as deliberate), adding more rhythm and melodic effects to your gorgeous poem. Very positive, fresh, smooth and enjoyable read. Well done!

This is a lovely poetic insight.
I really like its contents.
It revealed to me that old ugly things have to be let go.
We should forget our worries and move on with life for a better day.
Although this is a New Year poem, it could equally apply to other times as well. Put the past behind, let the darkness slip away and start a new day with new intentions. I am reminded of that saying, "Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life". Enjoyable and well written work. Well done.
This is so very good, I really enjoyed the emotions through out & the rhyme scheme
