I don't live for today, but plan for tomorrow.
Should God wake me up, another day for Darrell.
Then, I start planning for the day after that.
Cutting expenses, while increasing my stacks.
Doing it early will cover the back end.
There'll be royalties, profits, and dividends.
Note the other $$$ I didn't even mention.
SSI will kick in, along with your pension.
In order to execute, you have to put in work.
Have tunnel vision, an low-crawl in the dirt.
It won't be long before a Command Decision.
Until it turns into a military mission.
If there's a target to be acquired at any costs.
Stand down for no one, nor take a loss.
I've got it in me to keep striving for good.
A Plan to ensure I won't live on cat food.
An inch into eternity
I've found my greatest
discovery
trying to stand tall
on all that you've
taught me
Humbled by the fact
your love reads
like fiction
yet has no words
that details its
description.
It ripples along
the spirit, sinks
towards the depths of soul
collaborates with body
for hair raising
experiences.
So I dive in as if I'm
on a military mission.
An oath of a lifetime
becomes a quarter turn
of my world
and like clockwork
I envy dreams because
waking realities
seem pointless
to the pinnacles
you're taking me.
Heart stops and
fist extended high
Let us take a minute
to honor your divine.
