A Morning Thought about Intend

 By Walt Perryman

I am not even near as young as I used to be!
But intending to get stuff done is killing me!

I am retired, but I stay busy doing nothing,
You’d think I would accomplish something.

I have been cleaning my barn out for 7 years,
It is still not done, and this increases my fears.

I have good intentions as does almost everyone,
But I - my good intentions never get anything done.

I don’t know how I stay so busy doing nothing,
Today, I intend to not intend and do something.
