plans

our whole lives

we have these plans,

plans of who we're going to be,

where we're going,

and who we're going to meet there.

then all of a sudden,

right when we least expect it,

life comes knocking at our door

and asks us to take her hand.

we may be hesitant at first,

afraid to let ourselves

stray from our plans.

but at some point

we reach a moment when we realize

that we've missed life all along

and that we're glad that

she's chosen our hand to hold.
