Life Doesn't Always Go As Planned

When I was young: I planned to be a football star…but I wasn't the right size When I was young: I planned to be a movie star…but that never materialized When I was young: I planned to be a doctor…but the sight of blood made me faint When I was young: I planned to be a famous writer…but obviously…I ain't. When I was young: I planned to be a farmer and live off of the land But as is glaringly apparent… life doesn't always go as planned. When I was young: I never planned to go to college… I wanted to stay home with my peers When I was young: I never planned to be a teacher…but I taught for 30 years When I was young: I never planned to move to Florida… but now I'm here to stay When I was young: I never planned to marry and have a family… but now wouldn't have it any other way. When I was young I made so many plans but now that I'm older I have come to understand: Most of the love and happiness in my life has come… from all the things I never planned.
