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.
