The Tooth Dream


All people should have that smile

But oh, it may be a while

So help me get this education

and I can change their whole nation

 

Being a dentist is my dream

Even though it may seem

to be a boring, thankless job

I see beyond to each child's sob

 

The children with broken, dirty teeth

who are never seen for what's underneath

I want to help them get that smile

So please don't make it be a while!
