Like We Plan

They say we should plan our work

And work our plan

And whoever they are I guess they’re right

Since I have quoted them

But I have not always done as we said

But that’s not all

They also say those who fail to plan

Plan to fail

But I have also discovered that planning

Doesn’t’ always go as planned

And so I feel guilty when I don’t plan

And perplexed when I do.

I wonder if they ever heard that other one

You know the one…

Men make plans and God laughs

It hard for some to see God laughing

Until the plan to succeed ends in failure and then

Then I guess we know that a plan is just that

A plan and not an outcome but then again

It’s best to have a plan

And then a plan B and even a C

And a few more since things don’t always go

Like we plan
