Blessing In Disguise
When I was young and full of dreams
Of goals and great success
My pathway laid, my visions set
I was nervous nonetheless.
I had an inner confidence
Of the things I wished to do
And so I tried as best I could
To make my Dreams come true.
My best laid plans got in the way
And I somehow failed to see
That my dream was just a dream
Cause life had other plans for me.
Yes I went down a different road
As my circumstances changed
My boyhood dreams were now all gone
Things were rearranged.
With Good Advice, which I never got
My plan may have succeeded
But nothing ever happened
Cause I didn’t get what I needed.
But things happen for a reason
It was a blessing in disguise
I enlisted in the Air Force
Which turned out was very wise.
It really was a great career
The best decision of my life
Saw a lot of different places
And met my lovely wife.
I’m Retired now and life’s been grand
Things are really good
I wouldn’t change a single thing
Not even if I could.
