Me

I could be a rainbow,
I could be a tree,
I could be a model come and look at me.

I could be a star burning bright,
I could be a dancer dancing through the night.

I could be hope,
I could be a Pope.

I could be lost, 
I could be found,
I could be the owner of a royal crown.

I could be red,
I could be pink,
I could be a blogger so "press the link"

I could be a magician showing you a trick,
or I could be a rollercoaster so don't be sick.

I could be a teacher teaching you,
I could be a janitor cleaning the loo.

I could be an actor on a TV show,
Or I could be a calculator counting row by row.

I could be an author writing my next book,
or I could be a telescope so take a look.

I could be an astronaut meeting space,
Or I could be a sprinter winning the race 

But what can I be?
I can be ME!
