Hey everyone, I’m new on this site, so please bear with me. This is my first story poem here. A request from my little cousin.

---------------------

The notes drift from the speakers
The singer belts out the words
I feel a sense of contentment
As the colorful CD turns

That’s what I want in my future
That is my passion, my dream
A songbird to sing for the world
What a future that would be!

Everyone would love me
I would be idolized
The press and paparazzi
Would be fighting for the prize

That is me! I would be happy
Just to see my name in lights
I’d travel the country, and maybe the world
And see all the wonderful sights

But then maybe I would start wishing
For the life I used to know
Which means I should not take for granted
The current lifestyle I live. So…

I sit back and hear the notes drifting
As the singer is belting the words
And I welcome that sense of contentment
As the colorful CD turns…
