I Want To Be

I want to be..................... 

I want to be a bird of prey, 
Soaring high above the sea. 
Gliding 'round with beauty and grace, 
Just flying peacefully. 

I want to be a fisherman, 
On a boat with rod in hand. 
Or casting out from a golden beach, 
Then lazing in the sand. 

I want to be a soldier, 
Fighting to be free. 
But there again, who am I, 
To force you with democracy!!! 

I want to be a poet, 
Writing words of hope and joy. 
Or words to show the sadness of, 
My life as a teenage boy. 

I want to be a millionaire, 
With a pocket full of cash. 
I'd take the homeless off our streets, 
Not sleeping with the trash. 

.........................I want to be loved...............
