According to Plan

A better thought than this? Nope. Todd surely spoke to me today.

I just got back
from a visit
to tomorrow.

There’s good news
and bad news.

The bad news:
things won’t go according
to your expectations or plans.

Some of what you wanted
and planned to do,
you can’t.

You’ll have to do some things
you never imagined;
and most of it will be less glamorous
than you dreamed.

The good news:
if you do what needs
to be done for those you love,
or even and especially
for a stranger,
you’ll be spending
a day called today,
in a life called your own,
doing something helpful
for someone else;

and isn’t that more valuable
than having things go
according to plan?
