A Child's Dream

As a kid I would lie awake 

Wondering what my life would be like 

In ten or so years 

When I was almost twenty 

Funny how perfect life looked 

Though the eyes of a child

I planned on being 

Worlds best teenager 

And be working 

At worlds best job 

I would be confadent and kind

Everybody's friend 

Always ready to help 

Insted I'm here 

Ninteen years old

Far from the girl I planned to be

I am no perfect teenager 

I have faults just like the rest 

I still have not kicked my bad habbits 

I am not working a job 

There are so many things I could name  

That I did not live up to 

Those standards were a childs 

Who belived anything was possible 

As I grew older I realized 

I could never live up to those ideas 

But I have no intention 

Of letting those dreams go 

They may be impossible to me 

But they are not with God 

Its funny now looking back 

How important those dreams are 

In shaping who I become

This is for my nineteenth birthday Thursday. Also, the job I wanted most as a kid was to work for NASA, thus the shirt.
