All About Me

In grade four I dreamed of being a teacher.
As I sat at my desk in the first week.
I filled in a work sheet it read" all about me"
It contained four boxes and the one really stuck out to me.
Was the one that stated what do you want to be?

As my friends filled in there sheets.
My teacher came by to take a peek at mine.
When she read the word teacher.
To my surprise her eyes opened wide.
Her next question was why?
I looked at her with a smile and said " I like to help people"
As she walked away from my desk I pondered the thought
Of my dreams coming true.
Now I look back on that thought and I know they are just about to.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
