What Happened?

Things could be better
they never seem to quite approach grand
despite all the planning you do
things never turn out like you planned

you were going to be a doctor
a lawyer or a even a cop
maybe a fireman scientist or banker
but life got in the way and you had to stop

you had to change your directions
you had to think things through
it was one thing or another
something always blocking you

but you never gave up your dreams
it was just a matter of which one would come true
you became a father a mother a companion
whatever you did the best you could do

so though things could be better
they could be so much worse
to give it all a way and give up
would have been the most evil curse
