Plans

Having plans once made me happy; Now, instead, I feel uptight. When my set routines are followed, Everything will be all right. Plans unearth the many worries That stay buried when I’m home, All the problems that can happen When, from comfort zones, I roam. So, of course, when visits beckon, I will naturally say yes, But the setting things in motion Brings, to me, a lot of stress.

It seems, the older I get, the less I want to roam. When I was young, I took every day as it came. But now I need at least a week's notice.
