What I wanted to aspire to be
What child didn't color their days away
What child didn't want to say
I will grow up doing this till I can do it all day
But now I say
Younger me you have grown up
That dream you chased no longer adds up
I wanted to help others so being a nurse seemed great
Until one day in Health class
We learned about fractured legs
Younger me you have grown up
That dream you chased no longer adds up
I wanted to be an explorer who would find
Extinct creatures of all kinds
And travel on adventures without
The worries of the world you left
That is until I found that our earth has been navigated through and through
And plane cost skyrocket too
Younger me you have grown up
That dream you chased no longer holds up
Yet don't let these old dreams get you down
Your dreams may have at one time or another fallen in vain
But a new one rises high each day
Work hard and see if any of those paths lead
To a dream that you can make a reality.
