Poetry for children: I want to be . . .

by Kathleen Weisgerber

Created on: July 02, 2008

Did You Ever?

Did you ever wish to be
Something different than you are?

Did you ever wish you could
Fly up high and touch a star?

Did you ever want to climb
To the highest mountain peak?

Would you like to be a duck
Just to wear a funny beak?

Have you ever wished you were
A big hibernating bear?

Did you ever want to sleep
Half the year without a care?

Did you ever wish you lived
With the mighty dinosaurs?

Or would you rather gallop
Be a wand'ring wild horse?

Did you ever think you could
be a real brave fireman?

Would you like to put out fires?
Do you really think you can?

It's a lot of fun to think of
Different things that we can be,

For now let's just be happy
To be simply you and me!
