Make a Plan

by Michael Charles Messineo — Read all 96 poems by Michael Charles Messineo

It’s easy to make a plan, but it can be hard to follow through. One step at a time is how it’s done. So get started. Make a plan.

Monday, March 8, 2004

Look ahead and forge your plan 
delete bad thoughts from fellow man. 
Make your list and point your aim 
choose new roads not the same. 

Don't give your goals an inch of doubt 
you can't just whisper so please do shout. 
Tell the world your map of life 
then push aside all crap and strife. 

Push all distractions off your plate 
set new terms to concentrate. 
A lifelong dream that has no plan 
is a trip not taken, a waste of man.
