Blueprint said the house would face the east

But the builder turned it to the south instead

Now the morning light hits all wrong

And the shadows fall where flowers should be fed

Not as intended, but here we are

When the plan meets reality

Something different takes its place

Not as intended but still standing

Not as intended but somehow right

Not as intended but still breathing

In this strange and unexpected light

Every deviation tells a story

Every mistake becomes a door

Not as intended

But maybe better than before

Recipe called for sugar, added salt

Conversation took a different turn

Meant to go left but the road curved right

And found a lesson I had yet to learn

Not as intended, but worth the trip

When expectations meet the world

Magic happens in between

Not as intended but still standing

Not as intended but somehow right

Not as intended but still breathing

In this strange and unexpected light

Every deviation tells a story

Every mistake becomes a door

Not as intended

But maybe better than before

What if perfect was the enemy

Of what actually could be?

(Could be, could be)

What if plans were just suggestions

For the universe to see?

(To see, to see)

Let it unfold

Let it surprise

Let it become what it becomes

Not as intended and that's the beauty

Not as intended and that's the gift

Not as intended opens windows

That intentional design would miss

Every accident has wisdom

Every detour has its place

Not as intended

Shows us unplanned grace

Tomorrow I'll make new plans

Knowing they're just starting points
