Once upon a time
In the land of my younger self
Life had a plan
All laid out for the future
Rosy and bright
Magical fantasy of perfection
A prince charming
A castle and chariot
A career to be proud of
And little ones to make a family
All things in a neat little row
The fascination of life
As age teaches
Is the action when the plan kinks
When the dreams disappear
Behind mountains of hardship
To adjust course, begin to climb
Or abandon all dreams?
Let the Universal blueprint lead
Believe in a better destiny
