When I Grow Up

03/07/12



When I grow up,

I will live in a house

with wallpaper and carpets.

There'll be no plaster peeking through

or bald spots underfoot.



When I grow up,

I will live in a house

that welcomes guests with confidence.

And when they sit, the sofa

will remain intact beneath.



When I grow up ,

I will live in a house

with room for everyone inside ;

where living is not hindered

by the memories piled high.



When I grow up,

I will live in a house

where I will make a happy home ,

so I can raise a family

as well as you raised me.
