When I grow up...
I wish to be a writer and poet
My thoughts, feelings and emotions
Are my instruments to create a masterpiece
And I will write from the heart
When I grow up...
I wish to be a sketch artist
My imagination crayons and canvas
Are my instruments to create a masterpiece
And I will draw from the heart
When I grow up...
I wish to be a painter
My illusions, brush and boards
Are my instruments to create a masterpiece
And I will paint from the heart
When I grow up...
I wish to be a sculptor
My hands, chisel and rock
Are my instruments to create a masterpiece
And I will carve from the heart
When I grow up...
My fingers, the notes and lyrics
Are my instruments to create a masterpiece
And I will play from the heart
I wish to be a singer
My voice, imagination and flair
Are my instruments to create a masterpiece
And I will sing from the heart
Hard work, patience, inspiration
Imagination and creative juices
To craft a perfect masterpiece
I believe from the heart that...
Talent, interest and heart
The three in perfect unison
Helps me fashion a thing of beauty
And create immortal masterpieces
That would make me a connoisseur!
