~Looking Back~
(Free Verse)


Some time ago, when I was very young,
I made many, many plans
I used to dream,under the starry nights,
All the great things, that one day I'd be.

Now,I step back and look behind,
And I see that most of my plans,
Haven't become as I pictured them;
No, they haven't turned out quite like mine.

But then I look  back again,
And I am still, so very glad indeed,
'Cause God in so many other ways,
Had always, been so good, to...me.
