Connoisseur

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...

I wish to be a pianist
My fingers, the notes and lyrics
Are my instruments to create a masterpiece
And I will play from the heart

When I grow up...

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

I believe from the heart that...

Hard work, patience, inspiration
Imagination and creative juices
Are my other tools that come in handy
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!

Your poem this week is no exception- all the possibilities for when we grow up. But do we really ever grow up...those possibilities are always there for us to delve into when we desire.

  28. Hi Rob;

    When we were young, we wish to grow up soon, but now that we're old, we wish we're still the kids we were before, not wanting to grow especially when we see children living a carefree, happy life... :)

    I wish I don't grow up... :) Have a great day too!
