In this book we call life we
so often think chapters
ahead
study chapters behind, wondering what
could've made todays reading more interesting
what can we do, hopefully tomorrows will be
more
more along the lines of what we
would've liked for today, work on that...
lets think of how we want what we want
and what we need to do to
get it.
make a plan work towards it the more
we work and plan today the better
tomorrow
will be dont waste any time the more you
ponder it the farther away it becomes just go
get it
someday tomorrow will hold the key to happiness
how could it not?  all the yesterdays studying
working it looks so bright ahead now that
I know what is planned for the next
chapter happy just thinking about it I've got
it all figured out it's written right here
see
my whole plan tried and trued by history I've see
its all right here in my planner I'm still
thinking
about all the big plans I have so many
I dont know where to start but I hope the wait
goes by
fast 'cause I'm so excited...
I gave up today and yesterday for it but I feel
good I know what tomorrow will bring believe me I
s p e n t m y w h o l e l i f e p l a n n i n g.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Hi. I enjoyed the read. So, it's all planned? No room for dramatic exciting surprise adventures? I like the way the flow of the poem pushes you, as if the fast forward button is stuck.

I like how you go full circle with the idea of planning and the time that can pass by so easily!

thank you both for your imput     The last line is the kicker, didnt know if people would pick up on it or not...  Meaning is dont spend your whole life planning for something that may never come, enjoy today, what happens if I live my life like that and die a year before the big plan begins? I lived my whole life in vain.

I loved this one... You are so right; you can't spend your life planning your life because it will pass you by in the process. Very nicely expressed here.
