As life passes us by,
And age starts to set in.
Everyone around us starts to fade,
But our dreams finally begin.

(Great diction, I loved how you started this...it's all so true.)

We lose touch with old friends,
And gain some new.
Nothing is the same,
But we some how make it through.

(Good, i feel like you are telling a story)

Everyday is a challenge,
Just to make it by.
We put a smile on our faces.
And put our worries aside.

(I can relate to this, i know how it feels to have to fake a smile for everyone else..i wish you would have used more emotion though..good anyways)

But we should not fear the future.
Nor should we keep things inside.
For life itself is a struggle.
There is nothing left to hide.

(Loved the ending..it wraps things up perfectly..keep it up. Shanik)
