Dreams Jobs Of Childhood
I'd like to be an astronaut and travel deep in space,
To see the earth and planets, the moon too, with its face.
I'd like to work computers and make the chores of life,
Much easier to handle, reducing toil and strife.
I'd like to be a soldier, keeping our homes secure
From enemy invasion, and making freedom sure.
I'd like to be the president of the United States,
Having peace with every land, that's what really rates.
Of all these things I'd like to be, please tell where to go,
To pick the one that's right for me, as yet I do not know.
