I Could Be


Maybe I’ll be a doctor That helps patients get better, Or maybe a meteorologist, Who brings you today’s weather. Maybe I’ll be a Chef That can cook a five star meal, Or maybe the next host On that game show with the wheel. I guess I could be a teacher, Or a ninja, or the mayor, But that would rule out my career As a world class croquet player. I could become an accountant To learn how to spend my money right But then again who needs that, When you could create a social networking site. I could be a ballerina Or a dentist or a cop, I’ve always thought it would be fun, Opening a snow cone shop. Flying hot air balloons Would be pretty neat, I could be a genius like the guy who created s’mores, That gooey and delicious treat. I could find a cure for cancer Or tame lions at the zoo, I have been kind of wanting To start a backup dancing crew. I think I have some good options, But it’s just so hard to choose, No matter what job I end up selecting I know I cannot lose. The future is unknown, So all I can do is strive, To work my hardest until I find A job that changes lives.
