Life gets in the way

Please let my dreams come true,

Fervently I pray.

But unfortunately you see,

Life gets in the way

 

A famous author

I want to be someday.

Write  a dozen bestsellers,

But life gets in the way.

 

I have so many adventures planned,

With happiness everyday,

Doing what I love,

But life gets in the way

 

I want to sing

And dance today,

But there is no time

For life gets in the way

 

To the people I love

I have so many things to say.

Will I have the courage

Before death gets in the way?
