I Want 2

I Want. 

I want to be a sailor, to sail the mighty sea. 
I want to be a singer, to sing merrily. 
I want to be a poet, to set the world alight. 
With poems that fill you with delight. 
I want to stand tall, and not  fall. 
I want you to love me, with passion and zest. 
To make my life happy, and God blessed. 

I am afraid the sea will drown me. 
I sing out of tune.
No one reads my poetry.
I will try again soon.
I am looking for a partner.
To be my wife.
To end this wanting.
All my life.
