Dream Job
Location
Every child has a job that they dream of at night.
Every girl is a princess, while every boy will fire fight.
Some play make-believe; some play in the yard with a ball.
With all of this play, children will stumble and fall.
Everyone hits speed bumps along the way.
That's why I dream of being a nurse one day.
A pediatric nurse, to be more precise.
I'll treat a child's wounds, and I'll bring them some ice.
I'll help a girl turn her cough back into a laugh.
I'll help a boy's aching head, so he can get back to his math.
Every child, boy or girl, has a job that they dream of at night.
Mine is to make sure they can keep their dream in sight.
