Reach for your Dreams

I may be older, but I'm getting bolder

I still cry on someone's shoulder.

Longing to pursue the dream I've had

To be on stage acting, the good, the bad!

Why change right now they say to me?

You've got a proper job, can't you see?

But it doesn't make me happy I have to say

I love to be creative day after day

Playing the characters I've watched and loved

Doctor, detective, the woman from above

But that's not what will pay your mortgage

You need to be serious and look after the important

So what about being happy in life I ask

Oh don't be silly get on with the next task

That's what I've always been told

But no more for me, time to be bold

Writing and constantly practising for my big role

So soon you will see my on that stage

Playing those roles, not stuck in a cage

Because I'm the girl who started delayed.
