When i grow up, how would it be?

When i grow up, what shall I be?

 

Maybe a metro aid sweeping the streets,

Cleaning the scattered tiny paper bits.

 

A teacher of thousand pupils

While selling first class pencils

 


A dentist taking care of everybody's teeth,

And giving free chocolates so sweet

 

A doctor who makes ill persons well,

Or a famous author of books and novels?

 

Will i be a successful somebody

Or maybe the president of the country

 

Oh when I grow up, I want to be

As happy and contented as I can be.
