Something Great

One, two, three...

I want to be…

Something great when I grow old,

Then I'll be so bold,

But can't I be great even right now?

Does anyone really know how?

Little people can have big ideas too.

I think it is great that I can tie my own shoe!

And isn't it great that I can make a sand castle?

All those complicated adult things seem like a hassle!

Isn't it great that I can ride my bike now?

I feel so grand I think I'll take a bow!

And isn't it great that I can learn to swim?

And drink out of a cup that is full to the brim?

And isn't it great that I can paint a pretty picture?

And learn to make cookies, what a fun mixture!

And do a perfect summersault on the trampoline?

And put my own clothes in the washing machine?

So then it would really seem that I am great now.

So the world can just say, "Wow!"
