The best laid plans – what can I say
Good intentions ruled the day
The plan was to start right away
But a new idea came my way
Then clichés came into play
Carpe Diem – Seize the Day
When opportunity came my way
How could I keep from being swayed
Even though the brass ring shone
My reach fell short and I came home
Not in defeat but with new skills honed
Plus inspiration for this poem
I love to write – with words to play
So even though I tend to stray
And chase some dreams along the way
With pen in hand I’ll end each day
