My Plan

I believe if we live our life to the fullest now while we have the chance, there will be no regrets when it is our time to go. Hear people say “if they had one more day, one more chance to do this or say that” how many people say but I wonder did they know I loved them. My plan is to make sure of that now while I am still alive and healthy enough to do it. When my time is here to go, I want to be ready with no regrets.

My Plan

I plan to live a long good life,
Laughing whenever I feel,
To share a smile with others,
And let them know my love is real.

I plan to look in that mirror,
And love who’s standing there,
I want to be the happiest I can,
And shed only happy tears.

I plan to smell the flowers;
Hear the birds as they sing for me,
Take a walk barefoot on the beach,
And watch the boats go out to sea.

I plan to enjoy nature,
Hold my grandkids on my knee,
Give all I’ve got to give to them,
Because that’s the plan for me.

I plan to be a little mischievous,
I want my loved ones to know,
I’ve loved them all through my life,
When it’s my turn to go.

I plan to leave with no regrets,
Of what I’m leaving here  behind,
Because I lived a fulfilled life,
My life has treated me kind.

Great write sis, and I try to live each day to the fullest,everyone should. Life is to short not too. We should always tell the ones we love how important they are in our lives and leave no stones unturned. It only takes a moment in time for life to disappear.

Love you sis

Rose,

Your Plan will surely see you climb those steps in your photo. Your attitude is so complimentary my friend. Your legacy of love is truly how life should be. Love comes in so many forms and if anyone is fearful to say they love you then they have never really loved. Love, Peace, Happiness and Blessings to You Always, Paul.
