My Teacher asked us one day What would you like to be Doctor, pilot, engineer Whats the future that you see Now that really got me thinking Of all that I could do So I put my brain to action My thoughts started to brew I think I could be an Astronaut Working beyond the stars & sky Visit the Moon the Mars maybe Jupiter But what if the rocket failed to fly I could well be a singer Stringing melody and some words I could record a million singles But what if none were heard I could also be a Scientist Mixing things new and fast Funnels, testtube, microscopes But what if the experiment ended in a blast I love cakes so maybe a baker Sweet delights that I dreamt A gourmet for you to relish But what if none for me was left I could hit a boundary or a sixer Throw googly or strike LBW T-20, endorsements, yesa Cricketer But what if I lost the worldcup too I know that I’m quite pretty How about Ms Universe some day The paps, the glam, the makeup But those high heels, No way! As I sat over and wondered Of all the things I could become I felt a tap on my shoulder I looked and it was my Mum She bent down and hugged me And whispered this to me No matter what you do one day Grow up to be a kind young lady
