I Wanted to Be

dreaming my future

 

I wanted to be

I wanted to be a cowboy, rassle cows to the ground,

I wanted to be a pilot, fly those airships all around

I wanted to be a star, hit the balls so very far,

I wanted to be a driver, burning rubber in my car

I wanted to be a doctor, save the lives of those in need,

I wanted to be a lawyer, when I was thinking gr eed

I wanted to be the mayor, take my city to the top,

I wanted to be an actor, hope I don't appear in a flop

I wanted to be a fireman, save the children from the fires,

I wanted to be a copper, catch the robbers, cheats and liars

I wanted to be a priest, help the sinners save they're souls,

I wanted to be a lover, playing the lead man roles,

I wanted to be a father, raise my children to be proud,

I wanted to be a weather guy, explaining the evening cloud

I wanted to be scientist, discover new things in this life,

I wanted to be a husband, have me a pretty wife

I wanted to be a builder, bridges, and buildings reaching high,

I wanted to be a analyst, wondering why people cry

I wanted to be a soldier, keeping my country from harm,

I wanted to be a human, helping my fellow man stay warm

And did you get what you want my fellow human?

An incredible write!

[R E Tree]

I love how you have rhymed words it creates a out standing flow. I have noticed lots of goals in there that the poet feels he can not achieve. Fight more and success may come your way

i love it

[SamBug]

Wow. This was just so good. It flowed very well and worked out well. It was beautiful. I love how you continue to say what you wanted but not what you want presently. That makes it stronger so the reader can think about it now, putting all of the wanted together to make the want. Very good and powerful. :)

[*Always be Me:)*]

[Angel Veselinov]

Great poem. Good flow :0 Loved reading it thanks for sharing

[The Analog Kid]

I like how everything is past tense, like lamenting on the failures of the past. I think it has more punch that way. Nice couplets!
