Poem Title:
Poem
Mommy deemed the three-year-old me as an honour Said that I should become a doctor Stethoscope and thermometer are in her gift bag To spark the zeal in me, she set to wave a green flag. Daddy came all running to put a hard-hat on my head Said that I should become a builder like his dad I'll be a great architect, he believed, he already knew He said it's inherited to me and is nothing new. Aunt wanted me to follow her baking love Her skills, no doubt, deserve a bow. Cakes, cookies and all that she bakes will now be taught to me, with no breaks. Uncle Tom said I should inspire the world with my words He weens that they're powerful than the swords. An Orator or a writer, a counsellor or a life coach Be it whatever, he says, I should be there for those who approach. Everyone has their plans for my future Looks like I don't need school or a teacher. I'll be home-schooled and trained every day But should it start right from the 3rd birthday? I'm afraid they'ld stop talking to each other As their dreams for me greatly differ. Keeping their dreams aside for a minute I thought of what I wanted, for a moment. I want to smell the soil when it rains I want to swill down all the snow flakes I want to ride a horse and tame rabbits I want to make friends and take new hobbies. I want to build castles with clay And play Peekaboo with Jill and Jay I want to string the stars and crack the clouds to rain Eat lots of cake and fake a belly pain. I love dirty feet and dusty hair Clay and Crayons is what I care Play, play, play the whole day I plead you all not to block my way.
