If my life went according to plan,
All the feelings of regret would be washed away.
I would have waited to have a child, finished college.
Became a teacher, became a chef.
Loved a man and found forever happiness. If the plan went as it should,
I wouldn't have put a man over quality time with my son.
Wouldn't have stayed and fought to be with someone so wrong for me,
But let another that was so right walk away. But in the end, the plan must have been
To go through the trials and heartache of
Young motherhood, lost dreams and broken promises
In order to appreciate A child that brings me laughter, teaching him lessons and
Cooking grand meals for him and his friends.
Letting go of someone who didn't appreciate me,
Then making my way back to my soulmate.
And finding forever happiness - all according to plan.
