Analysis of No Plan
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
The youthful strength I once enjoyed
Now stands among the unemployed
It can’t go out amidst the troops
But still God keeps me in the loop
I’ll walk with him in the lead procession
I’ll wave to the crowd with my confession
“NO PLAN FORMED AGAINST GOD CAN STAND!”
