When I Grow Up

ok, so i wrote this poem when i was about 7 or 8 yrs old...and i happened to find it when i was cleaning out my desk last weekend...so i thought i'd post it and see what you think :)



Some days i sit and wonder
Where i want to be
In the country, on top of a mountain,
or maybe by the sea

Sometimes i'm in the army
fighting in the field
waiting to see the action
undoubtedly my fate is sealed

Occasionally i think i'm famous
living under the Hollywood sign
people everywhere know my name
expecting me to shine

Some days i am an astronaut
flying into space
staring from the earth above
and in a different place

Sometimes i am a ballerina
dancing with poise and grace
twirling and leaping, pointing and swirling
all with a smile on my face

Some days i travel the world
going from place to place
discovering the wonders of the earth
considering what it has to showcase

Sometimes i live in the jungle
amongst the elephant and hippopotami
cheetahs and gazelles dance around
lions, tigers, and bears, OH MY!

And when i wake up from my dream
sit up and rub my eyes
i reflect on all the places i've been and seen
and i think WOW, WHAT A RIDE!!
