10 Years From Now

As I sit here
Pondering about what will be
I think 10 years from now
What will happen to me?
Will I still be in school?
Like in a university
Or will I be cheering
At my two year anniversary
10 years from now
I can be rich but be meek
Or I can be sad
And be living in the street
Will I have any kids?
Three, four, maybe five
Or my favorite question is
Will I still be alive?
Will I have a boring life?
Routine, mundane, all the same
Or will I be among the greatest
Playing in the super bowl game
Will I be an average Joe?
Living from day to day
Or will I have fun on vacation
2000 miles away
10 years from now
Will it be me who invented the flying car
Or will I be on the green
Two swings under par
Well most of that's good
But I'm here living right now
All of these can come true
But it starts by asking 'how?'

Makes me think of what me life will be like. I will only be 24 in ten years but still, anything can happen. Great poem, flows well and it has a great meaning.

Interesting choice of topics. Only I doubt few people could actully accomplish all of those things (potentially speaking). These days we're lucky to be good at one thing. >,< Though there's a really smart guy who fought in mixed martial arts who was studying to be a doctor, and knew a few languages. But I think his kind are pretty rare. ^.^
