When I Grow Up
by Lucia Kemp Henry
Someday soon when I grow up,
I’ll have a job to do.
I’ll write a book, or be a cook,
Or work inside a zoo.
I might want to drive a bus
Or teach children to read.
I’ll load a train, or fly a plane,
Or plant a little seed.
I might want to fight a fire
Or be a doctor, too.
I’ll build a house, or sew a blouse,
Or sail the ocean blue.
So many jobs that I might choose,
I wonder what I’ll be.
I’ll work and learn, ’til it’s my turn
To find a job for me!
