What Could I Be©
Mother what can
I be?
What is it that
you see?
Could I fly to the
stars?
Or maybe even walk
on mars
Could I dance
for kings?
Maybe even learn
to sing
Could I sail a
ship across the world
Even if I am
just a girl
Could I write
stories and fairy tales?
Catch a train
and ride the rails
Could I fly a
plane up through the clouds?
Would that make
you proud?
Could I be a
soldier brave and strong?
You see I’m not
quite sure where I belong
Could I swim
the channel and win the gold
What did you
think mother, when you were told
That I was sure
to come
Maybe a girl or
maybe a son
Why did you cry
so hard and think I would ruin your life
Didn’t you love
me or even like
Why didn’t you
want to hold me, as much as I wanted to be held by you?
Why did you cut
me down before I grew?
We could’ve had
a lifetime together
Battle the
storms through any weather
But that was
something you just couldn’t see
One day we’ll
meet and what a day that will be
Mother, I pray
in heaven every day that God will show you the way.
