Someday’s

When I was five, I thought that SOMEDAY I’d  grow up
to be President…
At ten,  I was SOMEDAY going to grow up to be an
NFL quarterback…
At 20, I dreamed about SOMEDAY making my fortune
And enjoying wealth…
Around 30, I’m SOMEDAY going to go skydiving
Or learn to fly…
In my 40’s I hoped that SOMEDAY I would retire early
And take it easy…
The 50’s rolled past wishing that SOMEDAY I could just lounge
In bed all day…
When I was 60, I thought SOMEDAY I would do all the things
I had dreamed about…
In my 70’s I wished that SOMEDAY I wish I could
Find something to do…
The 80’s  came…I was out of SOMEDAYS.
