20 Year Plan

We will stay here,

make money

save money,

eat delicious food,

make a home.

How splendid

will it be to live

peacefully,

five more years

under this roof?

Take annual trips,

embrace the world still.

Won’t skimp on

vacations.

Become part of

the society

here. Know all

the people,

have a baby

raise them properly,

mesh generations.

Give enough time,

solidify

solid ground.

Let love flourish

for all their time.

Say goodbye,

inherit

our future

move to Amsterdam,

start again.
