The Big Moments

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” – John Lennon

Some great writer said that once

I don’t even know who now

And I guess that it doesn’t really matter

No, what matters is that I’ve discovered it too

I made all these plans for my life when I was just a kid

It wasn’t the girly stuff about getting married

Or the perfect romance

No, I made plans for my future

Then I had to throw out all those plans

Because my plans didn’t turn out the way I thought

Life doesn’t always turn out the way you think

Or at least it doesn’t happen according to plan

When I think about it

I guess that’s what it’s all about

It’s the learning

And the experiencing

All the plans in the world

Can’t prepare you

For what you’ll encounter

When life comes at you

It comes when you least expect it

It’s like finding something when you stop looking for it

Well, I certainly found my life when I stopped looking

And I found so much more

I found more than friends

I found more than a job

I found a family

I found a career

And I know that the big moments…

They matter, but there’s so much more

Because you really can’t plan it all

And even if you do

Life doesn’t fit into any box you shape for it
