I want...

I want to be that guy

Who never makes a girl cry.

Instead, he’ll make her smile;

He’ll make her love him forever, not a while.

I want to be that girl

Who never aims for an earl.

Instead, she’ll set her mind to her dreams

And prioritize and smoothen all the seams.

I want to be that man

Who faces life with an, “I can!”

He won’t run away or cower and hide;

Instead, he’ll rise and break the tide.

I want to be that woman

Who waits and chooses the right “someone”.

She holds her head high,

And the limit to her dreams is the sky.

I want to be that son

Who smiles and befriends everyone;

Who kisses his mother on the forehead

Even if he’s thirty and tall and well-fed.

I want to be that daughter

Who takes challenges to conquer;

Who dances with her father in every event

And never forgets to give him a kiss in the end.

You can be that person

Who sees beauty in the midst of an imperfection;

Who cherishes friends and family

And lives life to the highest degree.
