Let’s pretend
That when I talk, you listen
That when I cry, you just understand
That when I’m not being my best, that you “just love me anyway”
Let’s pretend
That you know that I am special
And often you tell me so
Let’s just pretend
That I make you smile
That I am at least one thought on your mind during the day
Come on let’s pretend
That you love me as much as I want you to just as much as I love you
Let’s pretend
That you tell me often, not only when I got into trouble
Now let’s pretend
That you want to help me through all the growing up stages of my life
And teach me “the right way”
That you don’t forget, I learn by watching
Let’s pretend
That my feelings are important to you
And you could feel in your heart that “it’s ok” and to help me understand
Let’s pretend this is how we are
Let’s pretend

I want to be an acorn
I want to be...
All that I can;
from scientist, to painter, to building with sand.
I want to be...
Everything, a poet, a
by Moeze Lalji
I want to be
The most important
Clay of life
So can you
Shape me
To be a helper
Of life
All I need
Is a wheel
With a direction
