when i grow up,
"...I want to be a fairy princess."
Or so my five-year-old self said when inquiring relatives asked. Flitting through the trees, gathering flowers all the day long, srinkling pixie dust to make things right. Afterall, I'd heard it on "Barney and Friends" a dozen times over:
"You can be anything you want to be!"
...but then i changed my mind.
when i grow up,
"..I want to be a firefighter."
...Or so the ten-year-old tomboy within me thought, as I dreamed of heroism. What better life could there be? Saving lives, high adventure, slim escapes!
...but then i changed my mind.
when i grow up,
"...I want to be an actress."
Or so my thirteen-year-old self imagined as I disovered femininity and left {a few of} my tomboy ways behind. I mean--lights, camera, action! Glamour and glitz, what more could a girl want?
...but then i changed my mind.
when i grow up,
"...I want to be a mommy."
Or so I thought from the time I saw a small, living, breathing, precious human child for the first time at the age of four. I knew from that minute that no matter what other course I may take in life, this shall always be my utmost goal and priority, LORD willing.
...and i haven't changed my mind.
...and i haven't changed my mind.
Along the way, who knows? Perhaps I shall be a wearer of many hats--writer, musician, cook, teacher..
..but all in due time.
