<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">BE A NURSE</span></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">As I look all around me. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">And see how life has changed. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">All my younger hopes and dreams.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Have all been rearranged.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I used to want to be a hero. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Fly around just doing good. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Learning as I got older.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">To do the things I should.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I never wanted to be famous.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Or own big fancy cars.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Or set foot on the moon, </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">And study all the stars. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I did not seek out power. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">To tell others what to do. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">But if I could be like anyone,</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I'd want to be like you. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Helping little children. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">And some older people too.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">If I could go back in time, </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I know just what'd I do. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I would not look for diamonds.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Or lots of money in a purse. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I would be the best of heroes. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I would be a nurse all over again. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> Bakersfield, California
