I really wish...

I really wish I were a grown up!

If I were a grown up,
I would have gone on journeys across the world
Filling my head with knowledge.

If I were a grown up,
I would have been a writer
Winning kids' hearts through my books.

If I were a grown up,
I would have been a performer
Entertaining half a country, at least.

If I were a grown up
I would have been a journalist
Reporting from every corner of the globe.

If I were a grown up,
I would have been a pilot
Flying people to their destinations.

If I were a grown up,
I would have been an astronaut
Travelling to the moon often, just for fun.

But it's sad to know that
Only because I'm a kid
I cannot do any of these.

So,I really wish I were a grown up!
