When I was younger

When I was four I wanted to be an astronaut,
I wanted to touch the stars

Then at five, I wanted to be a firefighter,
For reasons I'll never know why

At six, I wanted to be a nurse,
I wanted to see people smile

At seven, I wanted to be a vet,
I didn't want my dog to die

At eight, my dreams stayed
But my thoughts were no longer free

At nine, everything changed.
Nothing was ever quite the same.
