I Will Never Be

What will you be when you grow up?

I WILL NEVER BE

I will never be an astronaut
to skip over the moon.
I will never be a pilot
to sail an air balloon.
I will never be a doctor
to heal you when you're sick.
I will never be a mason
to build a house of brick.
I will never be a painter
to create a work of art.
I will never be a teacher
to teach you to be smart.
I will never be an athlete
to win Olypmic Gold.
I will never be a writer
to have his stories told.
I will never be a fireman
to rescue cats from trees.
I do not know what I will be,
but it will be none of these!
