It Could Be You

It Could Be You

By Medha V

As the sky slowly turns red

And all the sleepy children

Are sent off to bed

And blankets are pulled over tiny heads

And bedtime stories are read

And sweet words are spoken

As parents stroke their child’s head

I love you’s are said

As children are tucked into bed

And as the lights are slowly

Dimming from the room

Children snuggle in

And they dream

Some dream of cars vrooming fast as they can

Some dream of the beautiful stars

Some dream that they’re walking on Mars

But they all dream

Dream in colors so bright

That they practically light up the night

And these dreams

These dreams could be true

And their parents always tell them

“One day it could be you!”

It could be you walking on the moon

Or selling balloons

Or making cartoons!

But dream they will

And you never know

Dreams turn into goals

Goals turn into reality

So one day

It could be you
