"Tell me..."
"...what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) Poetry or prose
The Plan
I plan to live each day
As if tomorrow didn't exist.
I plan to create a tomorrow
That doesn't include my fist.
I plan to make a name for myself
That can carry me a lifetime.
I plan to make sure that I'm
Heard within every lifeline.
I plan to treat myself with respect and dignity even when it's rough.
I plan to teach the laws of love
To my grands no matter how tough.
Because life shows no promises
Nor lead you to regrets.
Life is only what you make it,
you have to wing the rest.
