An odd wish list

It is said that people can be read by their faces-

If so, then you know

I’m loud and crazy and a little bit kind

My life’s been a journey – of travels and colours,

And photos and books and lots and lots of cartoons.

I wanted to be a relic hunter,

a poet, a writer, a swimmer, a teacher

the fastest horseback rider.

I wanted to be a lawyer, a fighter,

a singer, a dancer,

the world’s best baker.

I wanted to be a hairdresser,

a painter, a doctor,

a museum curator.

I wanted to be a slim figure-skater,

a librarian, a hunter,

the biggest stamp and coin collector.

I wanted to be a crime scene investigator,

a spy, an actor,

the most cold blooded vampire.
