A Child's Dream


Since I was young, I've had a dream.

I looked up to my Papa; A U.S. Marine.

Though I was naive, and got new ideas.

Now I'll do my time with four years;

Anatomy, Chemistry, psychology and more.

Take the NCLEX-RN test to be a Registered Nurse.

I'll live for myself, and aid who I can.

This dream will prepare me for reality not just my childish dreams, 

because I can't be a doctor in the U.S. Marines.
