Jars

My Mother said that making plans
Was more than half the fun!
So make your plans and make them BIG –
Set your eyes upon the sun.

A Penny for your thoughts, My Friend,
Or maybe drop a dime –
But no more wooden nickels, please -
You haven’t got the time!

Ration out your quarters…
Throw some dollar bills in, too!
Drop inside your pocket change
When every day is through.

Just fill one jar with money –
And the other? Hopes and Dreams!!
But only dip into the pot
When playing out your schemes.

My Mother said that making plans
Was more than half the fun!
So make your plans and make them BIG –
Set your eyes upon the sun.

You might just see the world one day
And this pocket change will help.
Now toss your coins inside this jar
You’ve stashed upon your shelf.

But start RIGHT NOW!! Waste no more time!
Record what’s in your heart…
Make your plans! Live your dreams! 
It’s NOT  too soon to start!!!

We always have our hopes and dreams,
Regardless of our strife.
So forge ahead!! And all this change
Just might change your life!!!
